TCG Letter #1189

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.
