Likely in reply to a letter from Tolkien (currently unknown), Smith says that Tolkien can still try to be transferred once his training is completed. He urges tact, and says that the army doesn't really matter to someone with a First from Oxford. Smith mentions the poems he and Tolkien are getting published in Oxford Poetry.
