Jean Poindexter Colby, children's books editor at Houghton Mifflin Company, writes to Tolkien. She has included twelve copies of the US edition of Farmer Giles of Ham. She hopes Tolkien will sign off on the binding and dust jacket, noting that it is more cheerful than the British version. She remarks that they do not have enough sheets to meet US demand for The Hobbit.
