Auden had invited Tolkien to contribute to a festschrift marking the retirement of Nevill Coghill. He also asked if Tolkien knew that a ‘New York Tolkien Society’ had been formed, and said he feared that most of the members would be lunatics. Tolkien replied that "Real lunatics don't join them, I think. But still such things fill me too with alarm and despondency."
