Transcript

The Evelyn Nursing Home, Trumpington Road, Cambridge
25 June 1935

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
