In the television program Glenn Beck, Paul E. Kerry quote two letters, but dont provide dates and more informations. Someone here could find that?

Quote letter 1

"I have no confidence in my work, except thatforced on me by entirely unexprected sucess.'A urest book', they say and expect, and that alarms me. (My heart is/was in my work,but not on my sleeve, and I have no relishat all for having it stripped bate."

Quote letter 2

"they actually emerged onto paper.The Hobbit was written for this children."They liked it. They weren't absolutelywild about it. They quite liked it" Thenit was lent, in manuscript, to the ReverendMother of Cherwell Edge, a women's hostel, duringher illness. A girl at the hostel read it too;She went to work for Allen and Unwin." (Sigurd 07:29, 20 April 2014 (UTC))Reply[reply]

Naming standard

The naming standards are all over the place. We've got Mr/Mrs and Mr./Mrs. We need consistency, and I propose the latter. --Ederchil (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:09, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Agree with consistency. I prefer the former but I'm not precious about it. --Mith (Talk/Contribs/Edits) 17:43, 21 March 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
+1 the former (Mr/Mrs): (a) for consistency with The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and The J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide: Chronology; (b) "Mr." appears to be mostly an American English form, while "Mr" is used both in the US and the UK (if we are to trust WP); (c) simpler page title.--Morgan 00:07, 22 March 2015 (UTC)Reply[reply]
