J.R.R. Tolkien
To
Allen & Unwin
Date
15 July 1955
Type
Unknown
Transcript
Partial
Tolkien received some additional proofs of The Return of the King back from the printers, and is still not happy with the result. He chalks it up to his inexperience in these matters, combined with the apparent response from them that they cannot print the runes that Tolkien has drawn out by hand for some of the pages in the appendices.

Tolkien goes on to state that he worried about Vol III and asks specifically why these pages cannot look how he wants them to look.
