Dear Semple,
Alas, I am back here, though not nearly so bad as I was at Christmas. I got through the term quite well, and lecturing was hardly any effort.
Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] W. H. Semple Esq | 29 Upper Redlands Road | Reading
[Redirected in another hand to:] Jasmine Cottage | Sheep Street | Chipping Campden | Glos.
