Dear Dr. Wallace,

I should like to be allowed to offer you my very warm congratulations on the high & deserved honour which the king has conferred upon you. I am sure nothing will afford greater gratification not only [2] to your personal friends, but to all to whom your writings have been so deep a source of pleasure than the announcement which appears this morning of your appointment to the Order of Merit.

With Sincere good wishes for health to wear this latest[?] honour for many years.

Believe me | Yrs Sincerely | Henry O Forbes¹[signature]

P.S. You will have correspondence [3] enough that demands attention at this time, so kindly do not trouble to reply.
