Mailbox

DEAR SANTA CLAUS, I would like a Chatty Cathy doll for Christmas and her clothes; one that you pull the string and it really talks. I want her to have brown hair and blue eyes just like I do. I would like to have a kitch- en set like I saw at the gro- cery store. It really works and it has a turkey in the oven, and a table and chair set with it. All my other presents you can just surprise me, but don't bring me any baby things any- more for I'm now 4 years old. I will leave out a cup of tea and two crackers for you on the night before Christmas. Love, Tina Root. 6411 Leonardo St.
