TCG Letter #1119

Tolkien writes to Edith about his hikes in Cornwall with Father Vincent Reade of the Birmingham Oratory. The two were visiting the Lizard Peninsula from ~5 August through ~19 August.

It is from this letter that we know most of what Tolkien and Fr. Vincent did during their visit to Cornwall. He says that walked over the moor-lands and cliffs to Kynance Cove.

Chronology notes that Tolkien wrote to Edith on 5, 8, 11, 14, and 16 August, and that a significant portion of the quotes reproduced in Carpenter's Biography came from the 8 August letter.
