Transcript
Complete
Tolkien encloses a letter that he began earlier in the year and explains that he had never finished it.
He has organised for a copy of Smith of Wootton Major be sent to Kilby, with a signed autograph card enclosed. He says that a sale of the manuscripts would be of interest to him, and he will consult his legal advisers on the matter. He notes that 'MSS' may be valuable to his heirs, which he should consider.
In the Revised edition of Letters, there is a brief extract where Tolkien talks about his serious health issues and complains about Joy Hill saying it was not ‘serious’.
