Stuk 3 - Letter from Sir Henry Willink to C.S. Lewis, 14 May 1954

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

Thanks him for his letter of 12 May and the kind things he said about the invitation to become the first Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English.

Expresses the wish of many in Cambridge that he should come and live in Cambridge. Thinks that he will receive several personal letters from people who he knows who will be more persuasive. Hopes he will reconsider and withdraw his refusal.

He did not feel the need to write to their second choice before 1 June.
