TCG Letter #389 / Carpenter Letter #205a

Tolkien thanks Ouboter for the invitation to the festival, and says he is mostly looking forward to it. He points out that his understanding of Dutch is not great, and that he cannot speak it, and proposes some ideas for a speech he will give.

A quote from this letter to Cees Ouboter, dated 18 March 1958, responding to a dinner invitation can be found in Lembas volume 10 (1983).
