Stanley Unwin writes that Houghton Mifflin (the American publisher) reports having sold approximately 3000 copies of The Hobbit, and will re-announce it in the fall and hope to sell many more.

He also asks if progress has been made with Beowulf revised proofs.

A copy of this letter has been seen from the publisher's files, which is not signed, but it is assumed that the letter sent to Tolkien was signed.
