TCG Letter #88 / Carpenter Letter #54

Tolkien offers Christopher advice on prayer and to remember his guardian angel. He reminds him to use "praises", and says of them "if you have these by heart you never need for words of joy."

In the 2023 revised edition of Letters, Tolkien hopes that things are bearable for his son. He says all he can do is pray for him. He reminds Christopher that he is always there for advice if needed. He then offers Christopher advice on prayer and to remember his guardian angel. At the end of the letter when talking about "praises" a Latin example from his letter is restored.
