Final answer:

Tom Robinson's father does not send anything to Atticus in 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. However, the Finch family receives gifts from the African American community and other residents of Maycomb out of gratitude for Atticus's efforts.

Step-by-step explanation:

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson's father does not send anything to Atticus in the novel. However, there are other instances where the Finch family receives gifts and tokens of appreciation from the African American community after the trial. These items are thanks for Atticus Finch's defense of Tom Robinson.

One significant gift the Finch family receives is a load of food items brought by the black community as a token of their gratitude, which is left at the Finch's backdoor. Additionally, during the Christmas season in the novel, Atticus does receive a bottle of whiskey from Mr. Underwood, as well as pecans from Mr. Radley, indicating their gratitude or respect for his work.

The confusion might arise from a misunderstanding or mixing different parts of the book. Atticus does receive signs of appreciation, but there is no specific mention of Tom Robinson's dad sending him something.
