TCG Letter #2159

Writing to C.A. Furth, Tolkien says that he is required to visit London, to the Connaught Hospital in Walthamstow but had only a few hours notice but could meet him to talk with him on publishing. He also notes that he has received a reply from Rütten & Loening and would appreciate help with his reply.

Tolkien will visit both the hospital and the offices of George Allen & Unwin the next day.^{Hammond/Scull, Chronology, p. 234[1]}
