Scope and content
Typed copy letter from Sir Henry Willink to C.S. Lewis.
The news of his acceptance of the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English was now known.
Suggests a form of words Lewis could use in reply to offers of rooms and a Fellowship from other Colleges [Willink was Vice-Chancellor of the University as well as Master of Magdalene and so had prior knowledge of the appointment and had the advantage in being the first to be able offer Lewis a Fellowship at Magdalene]. Makes it clear he was free to accept an offer from another College if he would like.
