Dear Semple,

Several unexpected inroads have been made upon my time, and I am afraid that if you come on Tuesday I shall not have been able to look through your notes. Would it suit you to come on Friday instead? If not, perhaps you will yourself suggest a later date.

Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.

[Direction on envelope:] W. H. Semple Esq. | 12. Brunswick Walk | [At the foot] Local
