Source of Acquisition:

Two letters from J.R.R. Tolkien purchased as part of a tranche of acquisitions in 2014.

Arrangement:

Correspondence discussing largely or wholly a third party is filed alongside any direct correspondence with the respective third party, where it exists and was found together.
Correspondence with persons known by more than one name is filed according to the name by which the person was known publically at the time (thus: Margaret Hartog is filed under Margaret Kitchin, since that is the name by which she was known professionally; Carol Colburn Grigor is filed under Carol Høgel, since that was the name by which she was known at the time of the correspondence). In the case of persons who have changed name, this sometimes means that they have more than one entry.
