Good evening friends,

Given the upcoming letters edition, I thought I'd share this exchange between Tolkien and his photographer P. Chandler, and then a subsequent letter from Humphrey Carpenter and Ms Chandler regarding the works.

There is some glare, for reproduction reasons. Interestingly, the letters did come with numbered photographs, and mock ups for postcard publication. The photos were marked not for redistribution without permission, so I'm not sure on the correct way to share these with you.

Rob.
