TCG Letter #1864


From
J.R.R. Tolkien
To
Walter E. Haigh
Date
2 June 1926 (date published)
Type
Unknown
Transcript
Partial
On 2 June, 1926, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner published a short piece on W. E. Haigh's A New Glossary of the Dialect of the Huddersfield District for which Tolkien provided a foreword. Tolkien had written to the author offering his congratulations and his endorsement of the book.

This letter could have been in part a piece intended for a blurb to the book given that Tolkien wrote it not as to Haigh, but as a short review of the book.
