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
