Stanley Unwin writes that his son Rayner is delighted with the sample chapter from the new book about hobbits. Rayner does wonder if a child who hasn't read The Hobbit would be able to follow it, but Stanley thinks this is easily handled by inserting a few words here and there. The typescript first chapter is returned as an enclosure to Tolkien with this letter.
