A translation of the text is as follows:
"My heartfelt thanks for your good wishes on my
sixtieth birthday for which I am very grateful. I would
like to combine my expression of thanks with my appreciation
for the friendly cooperation between your service and the
Bundesnachrichtendienst. I hope, in the interests of our
countries, that this cooperation will continue in the future
as it has in the past and not depend on any political
fluctuations. I would be very pleased if you could soon
pay us the visit which you had to postpone previously.
You and your wife are heartily welcome by us at any time
which is suitable to you.
"To you, to your wife and to your colleagues all the
best wishes for 1974.
Gerhard Wessel"
