children tell about you, but you never did come to see me and
my little brother. Mama says he don't come to see poor people,
but I see The Dallas News says he does, so I am going to write
to you and see if there is a Santa Claus in Dallas. If you get
my letter, please bring me a pair of shoes and a jacket, so I
