TCG Letter #1427 / Carpenter Letter #137e

Tolkien writing to P.H. Newby of the BBC, apologies for his delay in sending the typescript of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which he has enclosed with this letter.^{Personal correspondence with the BBC Archives suggests that this letter survives in their written material archives.[1]} He gives a brief commentary on it reading better aloud, rather than “with the modern eye”.
