Dear Old Santa,
I will write you a few lines as I think it is time to let you know what I want. I am a little boy only four years old and I am a little orphant, I live with my good old Uncle. I want a cap pistol and plenty of caps to shoot. I want a little toy horse and a dog and a pair of rubber boots and a suit of clothes and candy and all kinds of raisins and nuts of all kinds and that is all for this time. Do you think it is little for myself, but don't forget me, good old Santa, and don't forget my uncle and aunt. Goodbye.
Lockett Buckman.

My Dear Santa,
I am a little boy ten years of age and am tolerably good some times. I want you to bring me pistol caps, a rubber ball, candy, oranges and all kinds of nuts and some squibs. Well, I guess that is a plenty for this time, as I want you to remember the orphans and poor. So goodbye.

"and am tolerably good some times." LOL at least he was honest. I had to look up squib - a firecracker! Thanks for sharing these.
Dear Santa,
It has almost been 100 years since these were written. Could you please answer these letters and forget the ones you got this week? Especially the taking care of the poor part.
Thanks Santa
whoa! a Koonce! I will have to research her further to see if she is party of any of the Koonce lines I'm currently researching. Hope you're having a great holiday.
