Letter 80

Letter 80 is the eightieth letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary
Tolkien advised Christopher of his endeavors to teach Priscillia the significance of G.K. Chesterton's The Ballad of the White Horse. In clarifying it, he understood the ballad was not in the same class as he thought, and Chesterton was totally unmindful of Northern society, both Christian and Heathen.
