Dear Semple,
I am told by authorities on etiquette that it would not be wrong for me to let you use my name as a reference; but it would be aimless, as I shall be there in person.
One probable drawback to the post occurs to me: the University was only founded in 1918, and there must be a dearth of books there.
Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] W. H. Semple Esq. | The University | Reading
