Letter 62

Letter 62 is the sixty-second letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary
Tolkien had read his second chapter, Passage of the Dead Marshes, to Lewis and Williams and reported that they endorsed of it. He was almost finished with a third chapter: Gates of the Land of Shadow. He had composed three parts when he just intended to compose one. Before long anyway he would need to torque away to handle exam-papers and tutorials.
