Donald Swann had written to Tolkien expressing interest in his poem 'Errantry'. Tolkien replied that was interested in his suggestion but wondered if it might be too long and that he might try to shorten it. He thinks the metre would make it very difficult.
He continues in much the same vein offering insights about the poem. The letter is quoted in The Treason of Isengard (see reference).
