Wiseman and Gilson had reread one of Tolkien's letters, he includes comments from Gilson. It appears that Tolkien had writtensee Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Christopher Wiseman • ?after 2 March 1915, no later than the morning of 11 March 1915 (#1204)[1] saying he had asigned himself a specific day to reply to letters. They ask why Tolkien is always skipping meetings of the T.C.B.S. and give him some details of the gathering he missed during the previous weekend in Cambridge. Wiseman, in response to the evident suggestion from Tolkien of a gathering, makes mention that his mother is recovering from an operation so they cannot meet at their house but suggests a hotel in the Cotswolds. Gilson then adds a post script explaining that he needs ample time to get weekend leave from the army.
