Trinity College | Cambridge
5 April 1935
My dear Gerald,
I lose no time in thanking you for your birthday present, which I have lost no time in sampling. It is very good, better than potted char; and you have probably started me on a road which will conduct me to the doom of Henry I.
I thought your walk in Wales very enterprising and judicious, and I am glad you were able to seize the good weather before it degenerated into this. My chief recent experience has been motoring sixty miles to a funeral on Wednesday, through country in many places white with hail.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1
