🎅📝A Letter to Santa (in 1921) from the St. Augustine Lighthouse, originally printed in The St. Augustine Evening Record.

The St. Augustine Record reprinted Letters to Santa in 2021, with the help of the archives from the St. Augustine Saint Augustine Historical Society - Oldest House Museum Complex.

One of the letters came from little Eloise Malloy, the only daughter of Clarence and Agnes Malloy. Clarence served as the First Assistant Keeper of the St. Augustine Light Station from December 1918 to January 1927, when he was promoted to Head Keeper at St. Augustine.
