My dear Innes,

Do you remember four years ago prevailing on the Master to take charge of the Cap worn by Lord Byron?

My wife and I think the College might like to possess and place with it, a characteristic letter from the poet to Trelawny.

I hope all is well with you & yours, our kind regards to Mrs. Innes

I have not forgotten having tea with her on the bowling alley green

Yours sincerely,
C. F. Call

3rd. July 1912.

Dear McLeod Innes.

Its fortunate for me that you are not away like the rest of the world—stupid of me not to remember the vacation!

I enclose the letter which I hope you will think worthy of its destination

My wife is not sure if she sent a donor’s card with the cap; so I enclose one, as its use will gratify her, and it will serve for both.

Yours sincerely,
C. F. Call
