Ronald Eames of GA&U writes to Pauline Baynes. Her illustrations for Smith of Wootton Major are delightful. He is certain Tolkien will be pleased. he agrees that a smaller design is better for the cover ‘but as we are proposing to print this by litho’ fears ‘may not run to fourth printing’. GA&U find her double spreads ingenious. Hopes will be able to afford second colour. Will send proofs soon and asks for her bill.
On 19 July Tolkien visits Rayner Unwin in London and he is shown the illustrations.
