My dear Sir

I agree with you entirely that it would be better to have the notes at the foot of the page of the text to which they refer, but I think that additional lines, if numerous, would be best in an Appendix: this arrangement would represent the Cotton Ms.

Perhaps, however, it would be well, to have some portions set up in type: in one instance placing the notes and additional lines at the foot of the page, and in the other placing the notes only at the foot of the page, and giving intimation there that the additional lines will be in the Appendix.

Ever faithfully yours
T. Duffus Hardy

You had better adhere to the punctuation in the Ms. and discard the modern.

My dear Gerald,

This is a belated answer to your letter to me at Christmas, which I hope you enjoyed at Rupert’s. They tell me that it was very difficult to get you to leave your work even to go and see your family, so I don’t know whether I can induce you to come here some time from Saturday to Monday. So far as I can see ahead, any date would suit me; but during term, that is down to the middle of March, it would be necessary for me to know some time beforehand, as I might not be able to get you a bed in College.

I hope the arrangements which you were trying to make about the D. Sc. have turned out successfully.

Your bad language about the English climate is really rather ungrateful, for it appears from statistics that last December was the sunniest within human memory.

I had plenty to eat and drink at Christmas, and consequently am quite well, as I hope you are.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] Gerald Jackson Esq. | 85 Oakley Street | Chelsea | London S. W. 3.
