Tolkien informs Rayner Unwin that he is now "in residence" until 2 October and will return on 10 October as he is once again involved in term. He is standing in for C.L. Wrenn. A pleasant surprise but timing is not.
Rayner had asked him for a list of addresses and Tolkien says that he hopes to have a list made from his fan mail but at present has no help. He mentions a project led by composer Thea Musgrave, who wishes to write a musical based on The Lord of the Rings. The text would be adapted by Scottish author and poet Maurice Lindsay. Tolkien describes her visit.
