My dear Gerald,

Thanks for the news about you in your letter. For goodness sake do not go starving yourself or depriving yourself of proper amusement: if you do it will react on your work.

I am much better than I have been, but I do not yet walk briskly, and I am rather uncomfortable between waking up and breakfasting.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

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