Tolkien opens with the news that he has finished his Beowulf lectures. He has neglected academic matters in favour of working out the time-schemes and other matters from book five of The Lord of the Rings. He is “stuck” but feels an idea is forming.
Tolkien attended an examiners meeting at Balliol College, Oxford, which he says was very pleasant.
