TCG Letter #2259

Tolkien writes again to Brian Aldiss saying that he has re-read his novel Hothouse, and enjoyed it more the second time. Tolkien apologizes, feeling that he did not praise the style of the writing enough in his first letter. ^{Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Brian Aldiss • c. 1962 (#2258)[1]}

Sadly this letter to Aldiss does not remain and the details are drawn from his memory.^{See https://brianaldiss.co.uk/2019/02/08/friendships-j-r-r-tolkien/[2]}
