Transcript

Trinity College | Cambridge
26 April 1933

My dear Gerald,

I enclose what will admit you to reserved places in the Senate-House until 4.55 on May 9. But I don’t much think you would be much interested, and as it is to be printed you would find reading it less boring, and I can give you a copy. I should not be able to see much of you, as I naturally have engagements.

Do not try to repay me anything at the end of the year. When that arrives, if you have any-thing over, it can be set off against what you will be wanting for next year. The loan is not causing me any present inconvenience.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1
