Dear Semple,

I am sorry you have been out of sorts and glad you are so no longer. The check to your studies does not fall out inconveniently for me personally, as I am and shall be molested by the University Scholarships down to the middle of next month, and not anxious to see you or anyone unless it is required. If you do require an interview, of course write, and I will arrange one; but otherwise I will not at present make regular appointments with you. I understand from other directors of studies that this is not shabby conduct on my part, and that they sometimes see their victims only once or twice a term.

Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.
