THE LETTERS OF J.R.R. TOLKIEN A selection edited by Humphrey Carpenter with the assistance of Christopher Tolkien Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Boston New York 2013 February 4th. 1938. Dear Mr Furth, I enclose copy of Chapter I ‘A Long-expected Party’ of possible sequel to the Hobbit. I received safely 4 additional copies of The Hobbit. I received a letter from a young reader in Boston (Lincs) enclosing a list of errata. I then put on my youngest son, lying in bed with a bad heart, to find any more at two pence a time. He did. I enclose the results – which added to those already submitted should (I hope) make an exhaustive list. I also hope they may one day be required. Yours sincerely JRR Tolkien Table of Contents The letters of J. R. R.
