Tolkien says they have received many letters from Christopher, he will feel much better when he knows that he has received theirs.
Tolkien notes that he has been very busy with work but the weather has been very good, remarking that is has been “wedding weather” and he is visiting Birmingham, and will visit his old school, King Edward's School.
He goes on to complain about the changing of the clocksThe changing of clocks did not begin until Germany did so in 1916, Britain followed this and changed its own time to 'daylight saving' a few weeks later.[1] and says that there is not much news. He would like some company who give him the conversation he craves, and might see some friends in town.
He closes with the news that he has bought a new hat.
