Trinity College | Cambridge
21 Sept. 1931
My dear Gerald,
I am sorry that you have been too smart for me over your College account, especially as you are apparently going to starve for want of a job.
I only know Dinard by sight, from the opposite side of the bay. In Scotland I found fine weather at last, and all the eight days I spent there were good. The scenery was just what you would expect Scotch mountains and lochs to be, and an artist who was there was full of admiration for the atmospheric effects. I came back at the end of August and am spending this month working, as I have already had more than my usual amount of holiday this year.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
