Trinity College | Cambridge
22 Jan. 1934
My dear Gerald,
Thanks for your cheque for £25.0.0, though I would rather you had not sent it, as it gives me an uneasy feeling that you may be stinting yourself too much. This formidable term you will require extra strengthening.
It was very bad luck for all of you to get the influenza at Christmas.
When you ask “how many meals the 52 oysters represented” you betray some meanness of conception. They constituted the one meal of supper.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1
