Tolkien writes to Furth of GA&U. He agrees that the revised binding would do. He had hoped that the 'wavy line' would be transformed into something and mentions that he tried to find an "ornamental dragon-form" to include. He returns the binding with letter and agrees to its use.
He asks Furth what the "Americans", Houghton Mifflin Co., think of the specimens he sent to them. He notes that he has not done any further work on illustrations and will wait until he has heard back from America.
Tolkien also provides the name of the editor of the Oxford Magazine. Russel Meiggs, at Keble College to whom a copy of The Hobbit should be sent.
An unfinished sketch of a dragon is on the verso of this letter.
