Scope and content
Trinity College, Cambridge. - Has just been over King's rooms with the Medical Inspector: items such as antimacassars, curtains and bedlinen have been baked and washed; King's college cap has been burnt and his gown will be 'subjected to some process of purification'; the sofa covering and green baize from the door will also have to be 'shipped off'. The inspector is keen that King should not return to Trinity until a full month after his doctor allowed him to go out, and should not bring back the clothes in which he left. Does not know King's current address and asks Nelthropp to communicate with him; the college must 'take every precaution against contagion'.
