"Dear Ingrid,
Thank you very much for your letter. I am sorry that I cannot answer it more fully.; I am having rather a bad time. I have left Oxford, and in the middle of a move I fell downstairs and damaged my right leg so badly that it is in plaster from toe to hip, and I am on crutches.
That makes everything very difficult. Crutches also make one's hands v. tired, and writing is laborious (and wobbly).
pg 2.
I notice Spire Hollin : very shire-like. hollin is (northern, for of holly: used in Book I of L.R.: I lived for a while in Leeds in a Hollin Lane.
I am v. glad to know that you liked and enjoyed my books. I hope soon, when the mess of moving (my books and papers are still piled in boxs) is past, and I am recovered to get on with more books.
Yours Sincerely
J.R.R. Tolkien.
The address (to my publishers) will always find me. I have a secretary there."
