(1) Photocopy of a typed letter from C.S. Lewis to Jock Burnet, the Bursar and Dick, 12 August 1963.

Says he has left the books he wants sold. Asks them to review the College furniture before his own is sold. Says they can have anything they want for a keepsake. He was ashamed to ask them to do all this but Walter had to return to America almost at once and his brother was still away so he was at his wits end to know what to do.

(2) Photocopy of a typed letter from C.S. Lewis to Jock Burnett, the Bursar 13 August 1963.
To a degree he was ashamed but would have to accept his help. His temporary secretary could only stay in Cambridge a few days and he dared nit send his brother because of his infirmity. His books would be sorted into those that should be returned to Oxford and those that should be sold. Jock or Dick could keep any they wanted. The furniture was to be sold except a bathroom chair and carpet which belonged to the College. The oil painting of an old gentleman had to be packed and sent to the parish hall, Dundeln, Belfast.
Please could he tell his colleagues he was fit enough to be visited and would welcome it.

Attached to these photocopies is a letter from Richard Luckett (Pepys Librarian) saying he could find no evidence that Lewis returned to Magdalene during the summer of 1963.
