Christopher Tolkien

Transcript
Partial
Tolkien completed a fourth new chapter titled 'Faramir,' which received approval from C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams.

He notes that he attended church on behalf of Christopher, and is progressing with The Lord of the Rings, with another chapter in the works leading to a disaster at Kirith Ungol where Frodo is captured. He wishes that Christopher was there to work on maps, and do soem typing.

In the 2023 revised edition of Letters, a brief section is restored where Tolkien mentions spending most of Sunday writing except for a trip to Carmel.
