Scope and content
The Master's Lodge, Trinity College, Cambridge. - Glad that Bob likes 'the little book' ["Trinity College: An Historical Sketch"?]. It was Gerald Balfour, not Frank [Francis], who was 'one of the group addressed by the famous epigram' [W.H. Thompson's 'We are none of us infallible, not even the youngest among us’ ?]; he told George about it himself, stressing that it was a 'jocose [inserted], friendly remark'; George can believe this more readily as Thompson was himself of the reforming party'.
