Trinity College | Cambridge
27 May 1933
My dear Gerald,
As far as I can make out, I should say it would be more prudent to keep on at your medical course instead of taking up a job at geology which does not promise permanency. But of course you have to reckon with the possibility that I may die, in which case, as I told you, my assistance would come to an end.
I am not going to sign the lecture for anybody, as I do not regard it as one of my good works.
I am glad you are going to the Irish Guards again.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1
