Scope and content
Is writing at the behest of the Council of Trinity College to ask whether Beerbohm could give the Clark Lectures in 1942; these have previously been given by their 'common friend', Desmond MacCarthy, and could be on any literary subject he liked; the stipend would be 150 pounds. Recognises that 'in these days everything must be provisional', but Trinity would 'value the chance of having [Beerbohm] more than the certainty of having others'.
