Typed copy letter from Sir Henry Willink to C.S. Lewis.
Their second choice for the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English had declined and hopes that he will now accept the invitation.
Suggests a date of 1 October as a possible start date for the tenure but if he was still unsure he suggests meeting to discuss outstanding issues.
Hopes that he will approach the Master of Magdalene [Lewis's sister College] enquiring about living at that College before accepting any other invitations he would receive [Willink was Master of Magdalene as well as Vice-Chancellor of the University in which capacity he was writing about the offer of the chair].
