Transcript
Trinity College | Cambridge
6 Jan. 1931
My dear Gerald,
It may annoy you to hear that your College bill for last term is paid; but do not stick your heels in the ground and be nasty. If you could have any idea of what my feeling for your father was and still is you would not grudge me the pleasure.
Your gown is in cold-storage. I hope you are getting better of your malaria and that you will have a happy New Year for yourself and your thesis.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
[Direction on envelope:] G. C. A. Jackson Esq. | Imperial College Hostel | Prince Consort Road | S. W. 7.
