August 29 1963

I collect most of the souvenirs which are sent to me, and also some which are sent to the rest of the group. I like them all and I think the fans are good for sending them to us.

I've got most of them on a shelf in the house and have about sixty dolls. I've got dogs, fish, kewpie dolls, elephants, and on my birthday I received a model of Fred Flintstone which actually plays a bass drum - he is fabulous.

Many of the presents which are sent to us are handmade and I appreciate what the girls have made themselves.

I like everything that's sent along - except Donald Duck! and because I don't like Donald Duck - I've got fifteen Donald Duck's!

We receive every kind of present and I have rings and bracelets from fans, but the amount of jelly babies sent to us is tremendous - we couldn't possibly eat them all.

Editor's Note: Ringo revealed to me that all the jelly babies were sent to a children's hospital.
