http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27194102

Correspondence of Walter McGehee Hooper (1931- ) and colleagues, friends, acquaintances, and admirers of C. S. Lewis. Included are a few letters from Lewis and his brother, Warren Hamilton Lewis, to Hooper. Some of the correspondence contains anecdotal material about Lewis, but most letters relate to Hooper's role as a trustee of the Lewis estate, biographer of C. S. Lewis, and editor of posthumous editions of Lewis's work. Included are letters from Roger Lancelyn Green (d. 1987) about the biography he and Hooper wrote about Lewis and about other matters relating to Lewis and his work. Also included are letters to Hooper about Hooper's own career and his assignments as chaplain to Jesus and Wadham colleges. Appended to a few letters are copies of fragments of manuscripts that were sent to Hooper for review. Also included are a typed copy of an epitaph for Helen Joy Davidman Lewis, Lewis's wife, that was dictated and corrected by Lewis, and Hooper's notes on the contents of Lewis's Oxford residence.
