My dear Gerald,
I congratulate you on your success, which I know has been won by very hard work, though I had not much doubt that you would pull it off; and I am glad that you look forward with pleasure to your next step. I hope that when you come to the patients you will find that what you have been learning about their insides is all true.
Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.
