Summary

Tolkien wrote to his son Michael the day before Michael's sixteenth birthday. He told him he was going to send him some money for Michael to pay off a debt and could send some more money in a few days if he reminded him. He said that he hoped Michael would get a role in a play soon and that he is delighted that his hand was doing well. He was going to go to London for a board-meeting but would be back in time for them to meet "Growler", Michael's doctor who had been treating his hand.
