Would he have done it?

No Tolkien library can be complete without it.

I quite agree, and were I able to do so, I most certainly would. However, Alberta is most definitely a literary wasteland in that I have not once, not ONCE seen the Letters available for sale. Had I done so, I would immediately buy it, having read it (borrowed) enough times to appreciate its value and to thoroughly enjoy myself.

However, I know of nowhere within a reasonable (or even an unreasonable) distance where I can acquire it.

In the meantime, this is not the topic at hand, and there is no point in getting sent to the spice mines of Kessel by the Skwerls.

And don't say I've never done anything nice for you.

AAAAGG! Skwerls!
