Dear Mr. Wallace

In my lecture on Biology, I always give an outline on the history of the Theory of Evolution, and this year the class took more than usual interest in the -[illegible] subject

• the best class we have ever had, and especially in Dr. Wallace’s hand in the matter. They have taken the liberty of sending to Dr. Wallace a paper (mailed today, but being registered, it will probably arrive a little later than this letter) expressing their admiration of his work and wishing him health & happiness on the occasion of his 89th birthday.

Dr. Wallace will of course receive a great many letters of congratulations, and not be able to reply to them. — however, he should feel able to write a few words to our young — they would greatly appreciate and ^{the letter} would be preserved now to show to each class in the years to come. Do not suggest this to him unless he is feeling well, and not find it a to -. With every good wish to you all for the New Year.

Yours very sincerely | Ther. D. A. Cockwell [signature]
