In this typed letter with a hand written post script Tolkien discusses the development of The Lord of the Rings saying that Hobbits were not a late addition. Tolkien addresses his interests in languages, landscape, and history, and despairingly says that there are no English legends other than those in books and films.

A photocopy, complete transcript, and auction advertisement are held at the Marquette archives.
