Trinity College | Cambridge
29 Dec. 1932

My dear Gerald,

Thanks for your Christmas letter and card: I on my part wish you a happy New Year. Oscar also wrote. I suppose you all met at West Hartlepool. I had to eat three Christmas dinners in succession, but still survive.

You must soon be letting me know how much you calculate you will want for 1933. Do not cut it down too low as I do not want you to live with no margin.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] Gerald Jackson Esq | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1 [Redirected to:] 97 Clifton Avenue, West Hartlepool | c/o† Durham.
