This is the ledger for the shoe shop, the clerks would have filled this in, not customers. It is probably a record that the young Tolkien owed them some money (looking at it again its states Paid 1st April 1914)
Even though Tolkien bought football boots I expect he used them for playing Rugby.

Not his signature and as it was first written as Tolkeen and changed to Tolkien probably not written by him either....
(It dates from his time at Exeter College. 0/10 for your maths homework Khamul! )

This is a Tolkien signature from 1914 - you can see it in John Garth's recent Exeter College booklet.
A very interesting letter written on Tolkien's birthday in 1969. I love the way that he states in the letter that he now lives by the sea but does not disclose the location, though the postmark may give a bit of a clue
I am also very envious that he sent them five signatures in total.

Sorry, he sent us 4 signatures, not 5. I am now putting the letter and all the signatures up for auction at Bonhams
And no my letter is not in the chronology, because only Bridget knew about it.

3 January 1969 Tolkien writes to Bridget Mackenzie, eldest daughter of Ida and E.V. Gordon. He has sent her an autograph she has requested for friends.
Ps. If you are interested , let me know
