Tolkien has not written for a week and speaks of his “shame of letting a whole week go”. He has been praying for Christopher constantly though. Tolkien has been finding the cadet exams very difficult.
He had a short while with Charles Williams at the White Horse and saw the Lewis brothers on this morning after his lecture.Note that in their Chronology, Hammond and Scull's entry for ?24 or 25 January 1944 states that Tolkien saw the Lewis brothers and Charles Williams at the White Horse. We can now see that this took place on 25 January, 1944, per this letter[1]
He tells of a joke from C.S. Lewis and recounts it for his son. He will send Christopher an Airgraph soon.
