Dear Mr Furth,

I enclose copy of Chapter I ‘A Long-expected Party’ of possible sequel to The Hobbit. . . . .

I received a letter from a young reader in Boston (Lincs) enclosing a list of errata [in The Hobbit]. I then put my youngest son, lying in bed with a bad heart,¹ to find any more at twopence 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,

J. R. R. Tolkien.
