Dora Owens replies to Tolkien's letter Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Dora Owen • 19 January - 2 February 1916 (#1309)[1] thanking him for sending her several poems. Among them are 'The Trumpets of Faerie', 'The Princess Nî', 'A Song of Aryador', 'Sea-Song of an Elder Day', 'The Shores of Faery', 'You & Me and the Cottage of Lost Play', and 'Outside', praising them for "a certain haunting quality in their music" feeling that they should be published.
She suggests some publishers, saying that he should send them to Sidgwick & Jackson, Elkin Matthews, or John Lane. The Trumpets of Faerie should be positioned first she says.
