TCG Letter #72

Gordon was intending to start an Icelandic collection at Leeds. Tolkien writes to him on the matter. Included with this letter was a copy of Tolkien's poem, From One to Five, among other manuscripts.^{Collected Poems, p. 562.[1]}

In Collected Poems, it is noted that Tolkien included "accompanying manuscripts of Lá, Húru, Syx Mynet (no. 97), and Natura Apis". On 'Natura Apis', Hammond and Scull remark that " In his January 1929 letter to Gordon, Tolkien wrote of his ‘mock-moral’ poem that it ‘goes well with a chorus buzzed entirely in z – it is approved by the family’ (Gordon archive, Leeds)."
