TCG Letter #1399 / Carpenter Letter #88a

Tolkien was interested to hear that Christopher had run into “another of the Unwins”, Harold Unwin, a.k.a Chris. He says that Rayner was at Blackwells, but he had not been aware of it at the time.

He notes that by the time this letter arrives, Christopher has left his teens behind, or close to it. He hopes that his third decade is better than the second. He himself would not wish to visit those years again.
