Transcript
Partial
Writing to son Michael, Tolkien muses on his faith and how it brings him solace in times of trouble, he details how it helps, how it sometimes is a burden in other areas.

He gives his thoughts on the political turmoil of the day, and the, hypocritical nature of people who riot in the name of peace or pacifism. He says that real change comes through the political, democratic process.

He points out the absurdity of the leftist ideology of the time, and worries that most of his income from The Lord of the Rings will go off to the taxman.
