Scope and content
Typed letter from Sir Henry Willink to J.R.R. Tolkien about the offer to C.S. Lewis of the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English.
Before getting his letter he had received two from Lewis refusing the offer of the chair. After consultation with Prof. Willey he had invited their second choice to accept the position and they could do nothing until they had heard back from Miss Gardner. In the meantime he had been writing to Lewis to keep the case open in case he was in a position to offer it again.
