Transcript

Trinity College | Cambridge
22 Nov. 1922

My dear Clemence,

Yours is the only one of our birthdays which I am not sure about, because either the 23rd was yours and the 25th our grandmother’s, or vice versa, and I never remember which. But this should reach you in time for either, and it is to say that you are not to worry about your losses at the warehousing people’s. I hear they are reckoned at about £60, and I can easily find that; so let me know the precise sum when it is ascertained.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman.
