This year I don’t want you to forget the little Caddo girl. O! Kris! Won’t you please remember me Dec. 25^th and bring me something. For my part of it I want some water colors, a New Testament, and stockings containing oranges, apples, nuts and candy. Don’t forget other children, which I know you won’t on purpose.
