Tolkien writes to Peter Sutcliffe of Oxford University Press in response to a reader sending some possible corrections. He says that 1-4, and 7-9 need attention and that he himself had only noted number 8 in their list. He remarks that the reader is a "serious student of medieval English".
He further notes that he has no "intention of dealing with Purity and Patience" as they are adequately treated in existing editions.
He concludes by saying that if a new edition might happen, he would be happy to be informed as he has many corrections for any new edition.
