TCG Letter #2226

Father Christmas thanks the children for the letters they sent to him at the North Pole. FC says that he is worries because Polar Bear has gone missing and he has not seen him since the beginning of November. He says that he does not know what he will without PB. Although he addresses the letter to the four children, he asks them to send John his love. John Tolkien is away at the Oratory School.
