In the UK, a letter was found addressed to Santa Claus, written 120 years ago. Its author was 5-year-old Marjorie from the city of Eastbourne in the south of England.

In her letter, she asked Santa to give her toy ducks and chickens, a hairband and a ball for her cat Kittikins. It was dated November 2, 1898. This written request was at one time invested in a book that was found in one of the second-hand bookshops.

Now this letter is displayed in a shop window, and its owner wants to find Marjorie's relatives in order to give them a message from the past.
