TCG Letter #2239

This letter was sent to a Mrs Frost in Ravello, Italy, who very much liked the first two volumes of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien hoped she would also like the third volume. Tolkien remarks that the delay in publishing the third volume was because of his "rash promises" in the "First Volume" to include "subsidiary matter", and also his responsibilities to other matters, but all the material is now complete and with the "press".
