There is no surer indication of the ap- j
proach of Christmas than the Santa Claus i
letters which begin every year early_in t
December to pour into the Dispatch office ;
to be forwarded to Old Santa. For ten j
days the letters have been coming to this
office, and yesterday nearly ,100 were re
ceived. A large batch of them are printed
below, and there will be an instalment!
every day for several days, the last to J
appear on Sunday, if possible. The boys I
and girls must bear in mind that Santa I
Claus reads the Dispatch, every line, and
that he pays particular attention to their
letters. Here they go.
