TCG Letter #2933


From
J.R.R. Tolkien
To
Eileen Elgar
Date
early 1964
Type
Autograph Note
Transcript
New
Tolkien writes a note about the creation of the Dwarves and asks Eileen if she would like a copy of Tree and Leaf when it is published.
Notes
The document is undated, but the date is guessed from Tolkien's comments about his next book Tree and Leaf which came out in May 1964.

As Elgar never learned to lip read, she and Tolkien communicated with notes during his visits. - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp3x83nnggwo

It appears that this is one of these notes.
