That's hilarious. ?

Oh dear...
I noticed another misleading transcription, too. They have 'the best way of doing hobbits is to make them absolutely ordinary human beings (except for a neat goatee or buskin of hair)', which made me do a huge double take at the word goatee. But it looks to me like the letter actually reads 'except for a neat gaiter or buskin of hair', i.e. on their lower legs/ankles and feet.
