Trinity College | Cambridge
25 Sept. 1933

My dear Gerald,

I am very sorry to hear that you have been so ill as to spend a whole week in bed.

If you come to Cambridge I hope you will lunch with me, and also dine, if you are not obliged to leave before 10.10 p.m., when there is a train which gets you to King’s Cross at 11.24. I am very feeble both in body and mind.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

If you can’t stay to dinner, there is a train at 7.7 with restaurant car, getting to Liverpool Street at 8.26.

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

The envelope, which bears a 1½d. stamp, was postmarked at Cambridge at 10.15 p.m. on 25 September.
