TCG Letter #89 / Carpenter Letter #55

Tolkien apologizes to Christopher for the delay in writing and shares details of recent activities, including giving lectures, discussing Cardiff with Gabriel Turville-Petre, and having a memorable encounter with the historian Cecil Roth. He reflects on the kindness and impact of Roth, who woke him up for Communion, providing a glimpse of a harmonious world. The letter also mentions a visit to St Aloysius for Confession and Mass, as well as other interactions with individuals like the Lewis brothers and C. Williams.
