Tolkien was happy that Christopher had sent many letters and that more of Ring had arrived. His son liked it even though it seemed to have added to his homesickness. Tolkien commented that it just showed the difference between life and literature.

The weather was one of the chief events of Christmas. A heavy fog had frozen and created hoarfrost such as he could only remember three times before in his life.

Mr. Eden in the House of Commons had expressed pain at occurrences in Greece, "the home of democracy". Was he ignorant or insincere, asked Tolkien.
