The Evelyn Nursing Home, Trumpington Road, Cambridge
18 June 1935
My dear Laurence,
So far as I can see the dates you propose would suit me equally; but I have been sent here ‘for a fortnight or perhaps a week’ by reason of Cheyne-Stokes breathing, described in Arnold Bennett’s Clayhanger, where it is an embellishment of the death-bed of the hero’s father. They are getting the better of it with morphia, and I slept last night.
If I were in proper health I should at this moment be representing Cambridge at the tercentenary of the French Academy.
Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman
