TCG Letter #1091

Tolkien writing to Miss Flint apologises for his delay in replying. he had been away but upon his return had much delayed business to attend to which included a B. Litt examination. In the J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide: Chronology entry for 11 July 1949 Hammond and Scull note that Tolkien examined a student at 11 AM that day.

He concludes with his offer of assistance with her own B. Litt although he has no special knowledge in that field.
