My dear Uncle,

          I have just remembered that it is your birthday on Saturday and so I must send you a birthday letter at once. And I begin with the old greeting, Many happy returns of the day ! I hope the day itself will be peaceful and happy for you and that you will be spared in happiness and health to us all for years yet. You have always been a kind and generous uncle to me, and I take this opportunity of thanking you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for me. And I know all your nieces and other nephews feel the same.

          I was so glad to hear from father that you are still hale and hearty, and can take your four-mile walk every day, and still play a good set of tennis.

          I am sending you a book which I think you will like. You were always a great reader, and I am glad that your eyesight remains as good as ever--so father says.

          I am getting on well in my business and hope to enlarge it considerably before the end of the year.

          With love and best wishes,

Your loving nephew,
