TCG Letter #1068


From
J.R.R. Tolkien
To
Roger Sharrock
Date
17 November 1945
Type
Autograph Letter Signed
Transcript
Unknown
In Chronology, p. 313 it is noted that "Tolkien writes to Roger Sharrock, who has sought his support for applications to posts at various universities. Tolkien mentions that there are not enough tutors at Oxford, and the present tutors are overworked." This does not match their earlier statement in The Tolkien Collector, no. 18, p. 31 of "discussing his support for Sharrock's application for academic posts, and mentioning C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams." We retain both descriptions at this time until we have gathered more details.
