Alkanoonion has just left Hobbiton.
Question

Thanks Raynor, i had seen part of letter 144 and wanted to read what more was said after this

Quote:

Tolkien made this ‘assumption’ about the Entwives in Letter #144:


quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that in fact the Entwives had disappeared for good, being destroyed with their gardens in the War of the Last Alliance (Second Age 3429-3441) when Sauron pursued a scorched earth policy and burned their land against the advance of the Allies down the Anduin …
I wanted to see if more was said in the letter so that I could use it for our discussion here on the location of the entwives.

Anyone know what publication has all the letters in it?
