Dear Sir & Comrade,

May I add my name to the number who are sending their well wishes to you on this your 90th Birthday. Personally as a youngster I would rather not — it is such a long time to fight against the enemy… I wonder did you have "the malady of 30”. & then get over it. I am almost sure you [2] did & glad at least to know you have lived so well for so long.

When I am disposed to think 3 score is enough I shall say but then look at Dr Russel Wallace.

If ever I get to Parkstone I should like to see you.

With Best Wishes | Believe me | Yours fraternally | A. Stanley Hancock1 [signature]
