Trinity College | Cambridge
27 July 1932
Dear Semple,
Thanks for sending me the news, though I wish it had been different. I am glad that you are satisfied with Wood, to whose name I do not myself attach any clear recollection, though I am told he was at this college {1}.
So far as I can forsee† I shall now be here, where I have just returned, till October, so you would probably find me if you came.
Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] W. H. Semple Esq. | 23 Eastern Avenue | Reading

The envelope, which bears a 1½d. stamp, was postmarked at Cambridge at 12.15 p.m. on 27 July.
{1} The reference is to E. J. Wood, Professor of Latin at Aberystwyth, whom Semple had probably met in connection with his application to that university.
