I don’t remember ever noticing before, the words Brightwood Sta. on your mailing stamp, and have been idly wondering what they mean. With us Sta. is the usual abbreviation for Railway Station, and I thought it might stand for that: but my travelled brother assures me that Depot is the American for railway station.
Your blue suit, looking uncommonly smart, is sauntering round Oxford on the person of the aforesaid brother, and meets with much admiration in its walks. It also visited Ireland last year, where it tramped several scores of miles and very nearly went bathing one rough day: so you may also consider yourself as having had a good look round these islands by proxy.
We are just emerging from a heat wave, and very unpleasant it was: sent us by you I think, and the first American gift for which I have not been grateful. I am not and never will be a hot weather man—having been reared in the north of Ireland, by the sea, where fifty degrees is a cold day, and seventy a very hot one. Part of the trouble is that we have no apparatus over here for dealing with hot weather—fans, plentiful ice etc. Lecturing and tutoring with the thermometer high in the eighties is ‘not my cup of tea’.
With all best wishes to you both for a happy summer,
Yours sincerely,
C. S. Lewis

Dear Miss Aldwinckle
If I had carte blanche I should put up the following programme for next term
(#ulink_2442b05b-4b25-5f63-9e4f-e314a7a03109)–
1. The Concept of Mind by Ryle
(#ulink_1c07ae79-f30b-5c52-8eca-bbb714e4d649) or a disciple: answered by H. H. Price.
(#ulink_4d07ec50-787a-5a19-b30e-0bfec02b120c)
2. The Concept of Man by a Sartrian:
(#ulink_417073bc-9b35-529d-aa6c-b4ab5025af2c) answered by Sheed
(#ulink_b8c76bb1-332a-5941-90e4-6203577cc169) or Christopher Dawson.
(#ulink_a420b76d-4a2f-54b4-9430-9609906744df)
3. The Mystical Approach by someone of the Heard
(#ulink_bc13af36-f02a-5dac-aa69-95330ff1f331) or Huxley type:
(#ulink_f91b5638-2f59-50ed-a181-a34e23ca1d43) ans. by Fr. Gleason?
(#ulink_48740d8c-4bcf-5f95-96ed-f6ee52c2ad66)
4. Why I believe in God by Miss Anscombe (is that how you spell it?):
(#ulink_bfbea6a0-66bb-5624-950f-737b9498a094) ans. by?
5. Pagan Christs by an Anthropologist: ans. by C. Hardie.
(#ulink_9c73048f-ae8f-5792-bcbf-c29b6ef42f7b)
6. The Historical value of the N.T.
(#ulink_a387e6d3-8685-5d1e-a1f1-15e50883eae2) by Dr. Farrer:
(#ulink_3526c810-58cd-5d95-a95f-b7a4bc5b40ba) ans. by?
7. Faith & Experience by Mr. Mitchell:
(#ulink_3f3908f0-1b9a-577e-a933-3df52f9a36a3) ans. by?
8. Religious Language by Prof. Ayer:
(#ulink_ff6257cf-3cc0-5caa-bd6a-7895274fa0a3) ans. by Owen Barfield.
I shd. press hard for No. 4. The lady is quite right to refute what she thinks bad theistic arguments, but does this not almost oblige her as a Christian to find good ones in their place: having obliterated me as an Apologist ought she not to succeed me?
(#ulink_dc2ea8ae-ac1f-54b2-81b7-8da7ca5e3364)
I am v. sorry I can’t attend the meeting. The point I shd. make if I were there is that we must not be pre-occupied with novelty. Each generation of undergraduates needs to hear a fair number of the arguments we’ve had already.
Yours sincerely
C. S. Lewis
P.S. Does Dorothy Emmet ever read papers?

12th June 1950.
My dear Miss Mathews,
Parcels from Beverly Hills seem to arrive with the same regularity as the demands of the Income Tax Commissioner, but differ considerably from them in the reception with which they meet. Here is yet another admirable assortment, posted on the 10th. of May, which I found waiting for me this morning, in excellent condition. I have so often had the pleasant task of thanking you for your kindness that I am ‘gravelled for matter’ in which to express my gratitude for its continuance. Many thanks.
