Scope and content
Typed letter from Sir Henry Willink to Professor Basil Willey about the offer to C.S. Lewis of the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English.
Thanks him for his letter and he too had heard from Tolkien.
He had also received an embarrassed letter from C.S. Lewis.
He would tell him another invitation to accept the post had been sent out to their second choice and nothing could be done until it had been answered. Was making enquiries of the Registrary and Secretary General as to the extent to which Lewis's terms could be discussed in the event of Miss Gardner's refusal.
