Tolkien Letter Up for Sale

Estimated price £80-100! That's absurdely low for a handwritten letter (if it's the same as the excerpt shown on Winterton's website). I would gladly have tried my luck on it, but it seems like you have to physically be there during the auction..?

Will anyone here be placing a bid?

Too good to be true ?

Anyway maybe you can bid through here:

Thank you for the link, I'll make a vain attempt (although I guess I won't be the only one!).

I would like to see a picture of the letter. Still haven't found one...

Don't all go outbidding each other!
(Surely we could start some sort of racket --dealers, in auction rooms, have been doing this for years...)
[David Dickinson is going to be there!!]

Here's a photo

Thanks SonOfDolf, but I actually wanted to read it; I collect images of Tolkien's unpublished letters.

I do have to admit that "From Ronald and Edith Tolkien" is not very common in his letters.

Trotter, thanks for the link to the article! I wasn't able to put such a high bid, sadly...

Did the Tolkein fellow write a similar letter? He must have stalked the Professor closely...
