My dear Gerald,

I am glad that you are enjoying yourself now that you have got actual victims and are not restricted to theory.

There seems to be some want of co-ordination between authorities as to appointments on the Rand. Do not think yourself obliged to jump at any job which offers.

I am not by any means well, though the spring is pleasant and the show of flowers unusually fine.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

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