From a 1961 letter from Lewis to the Dean of the Graduate School at Princeton. Interesting to see 20yo Lewis's influences. Not much discussion of John Wisdom these days. Curious to read his Philosophy and Psycho-Analysis.

This CFA reads like one of my fever dreams rather than an event that's actually taking place.
