TCG Letter #1177

Writing to Gilbert Murray, Tolkien with regret notes that he is powerless to help with the task of securing employment of one J.C. Ghosh, an Indian student who will be forced to return to India, now that he is no longer chairman of the English Faculty Board. Tolkien will ask F.P. Wilson, Merton professor of English Literature if help can be found when Wilson visits Tolkien next week. He will detail Ghosh's employment history to Wilson.
