My dear Gerald,
When once you are admitted it will not be possible for me to ask you to the High Table, so will you come and dine with me in Hall on Thursday, the first day I have free; and I will ask Winstanley to put off your fall in the social scale till after wards†. Come to my rooms about 7.50 on the night.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
