Transcript

Trinity College | Cambridge
20 May 1933

My dear Kate,

I have just received advance copies of the Leslie Stephen lecture, which is to be published at the end of the month, so I send you one, which you are not obliged to read. The Senate-House was packed, and I am being paid compliments which the lecture itself does not deserve, so I suppose I must have delivered it well.

I am to be at Tardebigge from the 12th to the 26th of June: a few days before I shall spend in Oxfordshire and a few days afterwards in Kent. Then I shall be here until I go to France probably towards the end of August.

I am well and I hope you continue so.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman.
