TCG Letter #155

This letter, of which excerpts were published in The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren concerned the etymology of the word 'faynights'. After it was published in The Sunday Times, Iona and Peter Opie sent a letter to the newspaper, explaining the use of the word (published on 25 November 1951). Tolkien had read their letter, and wrote a long letter in reply, discussing the etymology of 'faynights'.
