Tolkien mentions Jack LewisC.S. Lewis[1] and acknowledges having limited knowledge of Lewis's troubles.

In the 2023 revised edition of Letters, a brief introductory sentence is restored where Tolkien commiserates with Farrer about her health.

[Note: this letter was written, though Tolkien did not know it, on the day that C. S. Lewis was married, in a Church of England ceremony at her hospital bedside, to Joy Davidman, who was believed to be dying.]
