Furth informs Tolkien that he has told the German publisher that he (Tolkien) wishes to see a proof of the translation of The Hobbit before going to print.
He says that Farmer Giles of Ham is a story he likes, but it is difficult to publish as it represents a difficult marketing question as it is neither "juvenile" nor "fiction". He says that it will do better after The Lord of the Rings has been published.
