Quite,
Bywaters, and a belated
welcome to the Downs!
I found the Letter and quote. It's #144. Tolkien says:
Quote:

I'd quote more but that would send this thread careening into yet another discussion of that most recalcitrant of enigmas, TB. And if you don't know what those letters stand for, don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. Count on it! ::LMP ducks::
