J.R.R. Tolkien

Type

Transcript
Unknown
G.B. Smith writes to Tolkien at Brocton Camp, he talks about what friendship with the other T.C.B.S. means to him. Wayne Hammond and Christina Scull notes that it is "probably in response to Tolkien expressing worry that he is taking up too much of the time of the T.C.B.S. with his poetry." The other members believe in Tolkien's work and feel they have contributed a little to it.

Smith also says he has received the letter Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to G.B. Smith • 26 January 1916 (#1317)[1] from Tolkien telling him that he and Edith are getting married and that he has sent his poems to Sidgwick & Jackson.
