It's a substitution cypher.  Noting that St^3 Jon wrote Xmas instead
of Christmas, we observe that "Fleet Bk v2" has the same number of
letters as "Happy Xmas."  Note the double P in Happy coresponds with
the double E in Fleet.	Apparently the cypher base shifts with each
word, since the "L" in Fleet is represented by an A, and there is also
an A in Xmas, where is probably means "v" for "volume", or possibly
"zero" for a reading "Fleet Bk02".
