Stuk 96 - Letter from A. E. Housman to Lady Frazer

Trinity College, Cambridge - He wishes the news about Sir James was better; the recent sales numbers 'must have something like the effect of a mattress to lie on, keeping one from contact with the cold hard ground'; will not translate Renan, doesn't think he could do it well enough; is not very strong, his life should have ended two years before; recently travelled to Savoy and Dauphiné; suspects her of staying at Buckingham Palace; the Sedgwick elm in the roundabout was blown down in a storm.
