Tolkien has given himself an early Christmas gift in the form of a new pruner for the garden, and gives a humorous description of his cycling to the gardening shop to buy it in his gardening clothes.
He says that he doesn't comment on war news, but that “we”England[1] have a close relationship with Greece. He comments on democracy, as seen by Churchill, and draws comparison to Saruman stealing the ring and becoming “Lord of a scorched earth”.
