Trinity College | Cambridge
6 May 1930

Dear Semple,

So far as I am able to judge, I approve both your rejection of Harvard and your application for Aberystwyth. I think I would rather be a referee than write another testimonial, as one can express oneself with more freedom and ease.

Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] W. H. Semple Esq. | The University | Reading
