TCG Letter #1366


From
Christopher Tolkien
To
William Ready
Date
1 March 1967
Type
Unknown
Transcript
Partial
Christopher explains the origin of the Tolkien name to William Ready, and gives a brief account of his siblings and himself.
Notes
Ready's book was challenged by J.R.R. Tolkien for accuracy Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Dick Plotz • 8 April 1968 (#803)[1] , so these letter quotes will hopefully be authenticated through other means at some point.
