My dear Gerald,
I am writing to thank you for your Christmas letter and to wish you a happy New Year. As this will soon be here, you will be in need of another cheque, which I will send when I know your address for certain. I am going on much the same. Remember me to your family if you are still among them.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] Gerald Jackson Esq. | c/ Rupert Jackson Esq., M.D. | 97 Clifton Avenue | West Hartlepool
