Dear Doctor Wallace

It is again a great pleasure to me to congratulate you upon your Birthday.

Seven years my senior only I feel my littleness & insignificance when compared with your great continuous work for so many years.

May the remainder of your valuable life be peaceful, happy, and free from pain or trouble is the sincere wish of your old great admirer.
