Boorman writes to Tolkien's secretary (in her role as Press Officer for George Allen & Unwin), saying that he had hoped United Artists would have greenlit "The Lord of the Rings" by this time, but things are still uncertain due to the cost of filming such a big project. He regrets to say that it would likely be best to postpone meeting with her at the office, and Professor Tolkien in person, until things are more certain.
