Charles and Dorothy Moore

Transcript
Partial
Tolkien sends family friends, Charles and Dorothy Moore a copy of his newly published book, The Hobbit.
Their copy of the book was put up for auction on 4 June 2024 and is noted as being inscribed for them, "Charles & Dorothy Moore / from. / J.R.R.T / with love / September 1937." https://historical.ha.com/itm/books/li ... ption-071515#auction-info[1]
It is assumed that with any manuscript/proofs or copies of books sent that a cover letter or note would also be enclosed. We unfortunately do not currently have an example of those cover notes. To family and friends it is assumed certain that a short note or longer letter would be included by Tolkien.
