Hand written letter J.R.R. Tolkien to H.S. Bennett about the offer to C.S. Lewis of the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English. It was enclosed in a letter from B. Willey to H.U. Willink.

MCPP/CSL/1/1/12 · Stuk · 24 May 1954
Part of Personal Papers

Typed copy letter from Sir Henry Willink to C.S. Lewis.

Thought that his letter was such a definite refusal of the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English, that after consultation with Prof. Willey he had sent an invitation to their second choice and would have to wait for a reply.

Clarifies the residency rules and how long a Professor could be absent. Chairs at Cambridge were not tied to a particular College and thought that suitable rooms and a Fellowship could be easily found for him.

If Choice No. 2 refuses then he thinks they should meet to talk it over. Regrets that he sent the letter to Choice No. 2.

Letter from C.S. Lewis to Sir Henry Willink about the offer to take the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English.

Writes to Sir Henry in his capacity as Master of Magdalene College [he was also Vice-Chancellor of the University].

Says the Vice-Chancellor, with whom he must he intimately acquainted has suggested he write to the Master of Magdalene and ask whether there was a possibility that Magdalene cold offer him rooms. Magdalene was attractive to him and if it were possible he would value it most highly.

Typed letter (signed) from C.S. Lewis to Sir Henry Willink about the offer to take the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English.

Writes to Sir Henry in his capacity as Master of Magdalene College [he was also Vice-Chancellor of the University].

He was surprised and apologetic that the master has not received a reply to his letter of 24 June [in which he formally offered him a Fellowship at Magdalene] as he had written a draft and given it to his secretary to be sent by return. He thanks him and his future colleagues. He would be very happy to present himself for a degree by incorporation. It seemed ungracious that he did not come over to Cambridge at once but vivas did not finish until the end of the month and he was due to leave for Ireland on 5 August. He looked forward to coming over when the dear old thing Ordinary Life began again in October and to beginning an acquaintance which he hoped would become a friendship.

Letter from C.S. Lewis to E.M. Trehern (matriculated in 1933).

It was certainly true that Chaucer's unintended successors valued his other works more then the Canterbury Tales but he had seen more about the Tales in major Elizabethan writers especially those which attacked the Medieval Church which was welcome to Protestants.

He also thought that Chaucer's comic work was better than his serious doggerel. But he might be wrong.

(1) Photocopy of a typed letter from C.S. Lewis to Jock Burnet, the Bursar and Dick, 12 August 1963.

Says he has left the books he wants sold. Asks them to review the College furniture before his own is sold. Says they can have anything they want for a keepsake. He was ashamed to ask them to do all this but Walter had to return to America almost at once and his brother was still away so he was at his wits end to know what to do.

(2) Photocopy of a typed letter from C.S. Lewis to Jock Burnett, the Bursar 13 August 1963.
To a degree he was ashamed but would have to accept his help. His temporary secretary could only stay in Cambridge a few days and he dared nit send his brother because of his infirmity. His books would be sorted into those that should be returned to Oxford and those that should be sold. Jock or Dick could keep any they wanted. The furniture was to be sold except a bathroom chair and carpet which belonged to the College. The oil painting of an old gentleman had to be packed and sent to the parish hall, Dundeln, Belfast.
Please could he tell his colleagues he was fit enough to be visited and would welcome it.

Attached to these photocopies is a letter from Richard Luckett (Pepys Librarian) saying he could find no evidence that Lewis returned to Magdalene during the summer of 1963.
