Dear Mr Wallace

I must write to you on the eve on your ninetieth birthday to congratulate you on attaining so great an age, & to express the hope that you are spared the pains & infirmities [2] that so often appears [illeg.] later years.

I do not think we have met since we sailed on Ullswater¹ together, but I still have a lively recollection of that day.

With kind regards | Sincerely yrs | F. Jeffery Bell [signature]
