*'''Subject:''' Tolkien begins his letter with an apology for it being typed, stating that he is having pain in his hand and typing bothers it less then writing. He then goes into a discussion of news and matters relative to being an important professor at University. The letter further delivers news of family matters typical between such close personal friends. Tolkien also asks of Sayer's advice in regard to his plans to purchase a tape recorder, expressing his hopes that whatever machine he buys will be compatible with Sayer's, so that he could send reels to George "''for your criticism, or your use''".<ref>{{webcite|author=|articleurl=http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=3740521999&xbf=d28taHgtcnI_%2F85467940519567745806&afn_sr=para&para_l=0|articlename=Fine and personal typed letter, signed, by J.R.R.
