Forged letter purporting to be from 1943 (dated by an internal reference to Priscilla being fourteen) describing how Tolkien wrote the Lord of the Rings.

This is a forged letter, typed and signed by Allan Formhals (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-20808833). From the age of Priscilla Tolkien, the letter is meant to be from 1943, but was probably produced between the year 2000 and 2010 by Mr Formhals.
