Tolkien writes to Terrence Tiller on the 'accents' that should be used during the BBC Lord of the Rings adaption. He identifies the 'Greats' who do not have strong rustic accents, including the Hobbit gentry and some of the Hobbits and Men characters who may use those accents, Barliaman Butterbur and Sam.

This letter may have been sent later than the 10th September 1955 as a stamped date of the 12th October 1955 is on the first page.
