Army & Navy Club, Pall Mall, S.W.
June 28th. 1912 {1}
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
