A Elbereth Gilthoniel! #2 (1978)
- contains the first page of a manuscript written by J. R. R. Tolkien called 'Doworst', a humorous poem following the form of Piers Plowman on page 3.
This issue is unnumbered, but mentions (on p. 2) that at a prior meeting (before the 27th of April) '"A Elbereth Gilthoniel!" came out for the first time.' It mentions a meeting held on April 27th where the manuscript of Doworst was shared, and another meeting held on the 26th of May. Finally there is an announcement for an upcoming gathering on July 1. This clearly dates the issue to [Late May-June] 1978.
