Unwin wants to break up Tolkien's "monstrous Saga", and Tolkien hopes Unwin will let the project go so Tolkien can publish The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion elsewhere. Farmer Giles sales are only 2000 copies.

In a brief note added in the revised 2023 edition of Letters, Tolkien mentions Priscilla and that she will write to Milton soon.
