Santa, dear,
I hope the package arrived in today's mail (I'm at work). Tomorrow I'm leaving town & won't be back until Dec. 30. I may not be able to get on to Mudcat while I'm away, either. I'm waiting eagerly.

I think I'll probably spend New Year's mulling over these clues & trying to decipher them. I'm a lousy detective. The only Franklin I know is Ben.
