Tolkien looks forward to seeing Edith in three days.

Tolkien writes to Edith about his hikes in Cornwall with Father Vincent Reade of the Birmingham Oratory. The two were visiting the Lizard Peninsula from ~5 August through ~19 August.

Chronology notes that Tolkien wrote to Edith on 5, 8, 11, 14, and 16 August, and that a significant portion of the quotes reproduced in Carpenter's Biography came from the 8 August letter.

Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Edith Bratt • 5 August 1914 (#1189)
Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Edith Bratt • 8 August 1914 (#1119)
