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 Vice-Chancellor of the University [he was also Master of Magdalene College].
He was more pleased and honoured than he could express at the invitation. The prospect (socially and academically) of migrating from Oxford to Cambridge was an incentive rather than a deterrent. He regretfully had to refuse the invitation due to domestic considerations. He also came of stock that aged early and he was feeling a lack of energy and the first holder of the chair certainly needed energy and vigour. Although he had refused he could be pressed but he didn't want to waste Sir Henry's time.
