Merry Christmas...P. S. Do Not Forget The Poor

He found the letter in his chimney in an envelope yellowed with age It was addressed simply to Santa Claus... hand written...just one page... She asked Santa to bring her brother a wagon and as for her request... ‘something nice for me, ' she wrote, ‘whatever you think is best.' She signed it: From your loving Friend, Mary then she thought and added more... Her final appeal to Santa... P.S. Do not forget the poor. The letter was dated 1907 it had been in the chimney for a hundred years the script is a little weathered but the message still endears. He keeps the letter in a frame to remind him of her generosity... and every year...a present for Mary sits wrapped...neath his Christmas tree.
