Photocopy of a letter from C.S. Lewis to Adele Stoessel in which he describes himself.

Transcript

Dear Adele Stoessel,

The autograph comes below the letter. I am 64 - a year older than this century - and bald - and fat - with a Boxer dog and a Siamese cat - and I talk too much and I breathe too loud - and I don't like oysters or gin or a crowd - and the smell of the sea is my favourite smell. That's about all I can think of to tell,

Yours
C.S. Lewis

(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.

Within the College Archive we hold the personal papers of former Masters, Fellows, alumni and others associated with the College. The individual collections are arranged alphabetically by surname.

This collection is distinct from the Pepys Library. It contains reference material relating to Pepys from the seventeenth century to the present day, the first transcription of his diary from the 19th century, and printed books (the latter being catalogued on the University of Cambridge's Library catalogue, 'idiscover').

Any records of the Pepys Librarians held by the college are in the 'Personal Papers' collection. Please see a list of former Pepys Librarians below (with an accompanying reference code to their personal papers if applicable).
