8 Nov. 1935 The Evelyn Nursing Home, Trumpington Road, Cambridge

My dear Laurence,

I should be glad to see you between 5 o’clock and 6 30 on Monday, and at the earlier hour, if you let me know, I could offer you tea. I shall not be leaving before that day.

I am much more tranquil, and the dropsy has almost disappeared, so the doctor is quite satisfied, but he does not realise how weak I am.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman
