After Tolkien's ultimatum, Carpenter's Letter #127 (J.R.R. Tolkien to Stanley Unwin, 14 April 1950), Stanley Unwin replies that as Tolkien demanded a yes or no, that his answer is sadly no.

He would have hoped to find a solution, but he feels "disappointed to find myself pushed into such an embarrassing position".
