Inside Verse: Tidings of love to you and yours!
Back Poem: A Letter From Santa Claus
My Dear Susie Clemens: ...I have received and read all the letters which you and your little sister have written me by the hand of your mother and your nurses; I have also read those which you little people have written me with your own hands- for although you did not use any characters that are in grown peoples' alphabet, you used the characters that all children in all lands on earth and in the twinkling stars use; and as all my subjects in the moon are children and use no character but that, you will easily understand that I can read your and your baby sister's jagged and fantastic marks without any trouble at all. But I had trouble with those letters which you dictated through your mother and the nurses, for I am a foreigner and cannot read English writing well. You will find that I made no mistakes about the things which you and the baby ordered in your own letters- I went down your chimney at midnight when you were asleep and delivered them all myself- and kissed both of you, too, because you are good children, well trained, nice mannered, and about the most obedient little people I ever saw.
-Mark Twain, 1835-1910(Excerpt from Palace of St. Nicholas)
