The Evelyn Nursing Home, Trumpington Road, Cambridge

My dear Gerald,
I have been in here more than a week and my correspondence is in arrears, but I will try to write soon. The trouble is Cheyne-Stokes breathing, which you know all about, and I am getting quiet nights by drugs. The doctor is very complimentary to my pulse, and I expect to go away on Friday.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Medical School | St Thomas’s Hospital | S. E. 1
