My dear Gerald,

These articles may interest you if you have not seen them. I hope you are not one of the people who have been caused much distress by the closing down of the Burana M’Kubwa mine.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] Gerald Jackson Esq. | Imperial College Hostel | Prince Consort Road | S. W. 7
