<B>J. R. R. Tolkien Typed Letter Signed</B></I>”<I>J. R. R. Tolkien,</B></I>” one page, 8" x 10". Oxford, February 17, 1963. With original envelope (torn), 4.5” x 3.25”, addressed to Miss Julie Cape, Newcastle upon Tyne. In full, “<I>Thank you very much for your nice letter. I was very pleased that you wrote to tell me you enjoyed The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. As for writing more about the same characters, I have written almost all there is to write about them. But I hope you will recognize some of the characters in another book I am busy writing, called The Silmarillion, which I hope will soon be finished. Please give my best wishes to your family and sister, it sounds as if I have many friends amongst them.</B></I>” There are two tiny holes in the blank areas where the horizontal and vertical folds meet. Tolkien, who died in 1973, never finished <I>The Silmarillion.</B></I> It was edited and published posthumously by his son, Christopher Tolkien, in 1977. <I>The Silmarillion</B></I> tells the history of the First Age of Middle-Earth, the world in which <I>The Hobbit</B></I> and <I>The Lord of the Rings</B></I> are set. Tolkien is rare in any form. This magnificent letter, in fine condition, mentions all three of Tolkien's great works!<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
