On 9 June 1957, J.R.R. Tolkien wrote a letter to William Ready.[1][2]
- Subject: Tolkien apologizes for not replying to a letter from him, or to an invitation from the director of the Marquette Department of English to visit the University, pleading 'overwork, difficult domestic and academic circumstances, and the necessity of coping (or trying to cope) with a now very large mail, as well as heavy professional work and duties, without any secretary'.
- Publication: A description of and quotations from the letter appeared in The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide: Chronology and quoted in The Tolkien Relation (pp. 59-60).
