Trinity College | Cambridge

My dear Gerald,

I don’t know where you now are, but I expect to be here till the end of the month and beyond it, and if you are inclined to come for a day or two I should be very glad to see you. But perhaps your term is over and you are off to Hartlepool or some other distant spot. In any case I hope you have been well, and prospering in your geology. I was in Paris for a fortnight with splendid weather almost all the time, and did a good deal of motoring in the neighbourhood.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] Gerald Jackson Esq. | 85 Oakley Street | Chelsea | London S. W. 3. [At the top:] Please forward if absent
