Letter 119 is a letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary

Tolkien declared that he did not have the time to retype Farmer Giles and did not think it necessary. Typing a fair copy of The Lord of the Rings was a heavy labour; having it professionally typed was cost prohibitive. However, he expected shortly to be granted a "sabbatical" after 25 years; if so he thought he could finish a few things.
