Dear Dr Wallace
I find in reading Public Opinion2 of this date that you have just celebrated your 90th. year & I feel I must write to congratulate you. I sincerely hope you will be spared for many years to come. I hope you will excuse me for asking you for a favor [sic] [.] Will [2] you please give me one of your photos? If you remember I wrote you some few years ago & sent you a bakestone loaf such as you use to have at Bryncoch.[?] I am the daughter of the late Miss Jenny Rees of Bryncoch. I have often heard my dear father the late Mr Henry Jones & my dear mother speak of you. & my Aunt Catherine Rees told me that she use to catch all the butterflies she could for you [3] in the Garden, & fields at Bryncoch.3 So if you will kindly send me one of your photos I shall prize it very much. Hoping to hear from you soon & with kindest regards.
Believe me | Yours Faithfully | Sarah A. Jones [signature]
