You are cordially invited to a birthday party in the garden of Mallards, to celebrate my 137th birthday on the 24th July 2004.

Various games and activities have been organised by the members of the E. F. Benson mailing list.

I have also received a letter for you, the readers of my books, from Bill Richardson the author and broadcaster, forwarded by Snr Antonio Cortese. You can see it here.

Major Benjy and Captain Puffin have already gone out for an early morning game of golf before breakfast.

More will be added later.

I hope you will enjoy the day's events.

Regards,

Fred
