TCG Letter #1395 / Carpenter Letter #73a

Tolkien had gone to bed early, and stayed there for nearly 10 hours, which he says has made him feel “worn out”.

He mentions that he had received a cheque^{22 June, 1944[1]} for the Hobbit with a letter from Sir Stanley Unwin who had asked Tolkien if he could meet his son Rayner who was in Oxford as a Navy Cadet.^{see Letter from Stanley Unwin to J.R.R. Tolkien • 22 June 1944 (#1342)[2]}
