TCG Letter #1422 / Carpenter Letter #135d

Tolkien notes how it has been some time since he wrote, he has been meaning to but has been getting his affairs in order with his house move. He says that it was important as Edith's health was suffering and spent time away due to the conditions at Holywell.

He has not forgotten his lecture in Glasgow and will focus on Gawain.^{Tolkien delivered the W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture at Glasgow University, on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight on 15 April 1953[1]}

He also says that he has a fixed delivery date of 25 March for a “very large MS”.^{The Lord of the Rings[2]}
