Dear D^r. Wallace —

I hope you will forgive me for troubling you with a birthday letter. I know you will have many ^such & possibly too many. but as an admirer of your study character [2] and most admirable work. I find it too hard to refrain from giving some expression to that feeling and at the same time the hope that yet many years may be added to the term of your long and [3] useful life.

I am with very kind regards yours truly | Joseph W. Swan [signature]
