17 Aug. 1935
My dear Gerald,
I hardly know whether it is more satisfactory that you came out top in the Kenya competition or annoying that you were cheated of your reward. It is not the first time in the history of England and Africa that the Colonial Office has been set at nought by unfaithful servants.
I am rather better than I have been, and hope to be amused by my tour in France. I am going to Dauphiné and Savoy, and leave here on the 26th.
I hope that you will enjoy your ten days with the Irish Guards, and be refreshed by them after all your hard work.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | St Thomas’s Hospital | London S. E. 1
