Published by 7 October and 12 March 1937; both on letterheads of 'The Warden's Lodgings New College Oxford', 1936
Both items good, on lightly-aged paper. Letter One: 4to, 1 p. Begins 'The College today at its Special General Meeting did itself the honour of electing you to an Honorary Fellowship. We trust that it may not be unacceptable to you to be thus associated with our Society. There are no duties, save that of wearing a surplice in Chapel on Sundays and Feasts of the Church.' He thanks Gore for his 'generous words' of the previous day. Letter Two: 4to, 2 pp. He thanks him for his 'helpful letter about David' [Gore's son, the Conservative politician William David Ormsby-Gore, 5th Baron Harlech (1918-1985)], and consequently raises no objection 'to his being out of College in the Autumn', which 'may well prove to be the best thing for him'. The previous day David told Fisher 'that he was anxious to go into the House of Commons as soon as possible'. Fisher 'can see from his appreciation of Thucydides and de Tocqueville which is obviously genuine that his mind is taking a political shape.' He sees 'gleams of unusual promise about the boy', and thinks that 'As his physical strength improves and as the memories of those shocks to which you allude fade into the background [.] he will gain in confidence and concentration'. Characterises him as being at that time 'wayward, elusive, casual rather than idle, decidedly with occasional touches of brilliance, extremely sensitive and reserved' and with 'a certain distinction of nature'. He 'gave up the Hebdomadal Council' after his illness the previous year and does not know 'what is afoot about Honorary Degrees'.
