At nearly twice what they sold for at open auction? Tisk Tisk...

Nobody should be paying $800 for these IMO, there were 15,000 copies printed and they come up for sale very often.

Just noting it is from the same seller after a week - could be non-paying bidder. They do have "make an offer" enabled on the new listing.

The letter has been blurred out by Peter Harrington, unfortunately.

Nothing like buying something you can't see...

Sure, can totally still be shown under fair use. Unpublished letters are sold/auctioned fairly regularly and images are provided. At the least, I'd expect part of it to be shown.

As mentioned above, the letters (Hill and Tolkien) were previously auctioned.
