Rayner had visited with Tolkien on 16 February, and shown him the Maurice Sendak Hobbit art piece proposed for a Houghton Mifflin deluxe illustrated edtion. Tolkien had some issues with the proportions of Gandalf and Bilbo, but evidently was not against Sendak outright.
Tolkien says that he can make some suitable Elvish calligraphy, but Rayner personally doubts it can be done before Houghton Mifflin's deadline.
