My dear Gerald,
I am glad that your thesis is recommended, though I never had much doubt that it would be, nor, I suppose, had you yourself really.
Your gown is awaiting you in the Porter’s Lodge at the Great Gate. I shall be away from the 10th to the 18th.
I like your type-writer better than your fountain-pen.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Imperial College Hostel | Prince Consort Road | S. W. 7
