Carta 331

Summary

Tolkien informed Cater that his wife had died that morning. He described her final days, saying that she showed courage and determination, which Cater had mentioned. Tolkien was utterly bereaved but his family and friends had gathered around in support. Tolkien was glad that Cater saw Edith still undimmed and said that he would treasure Cater’s 26 November letter.

In the expanded edition
In the postscripts Tolkien mentions he's currently living at the Miramar Hotel in Bournemouth. He wishes Lord Snowdon would let him have a photograph of a day which was very memorable for Edith.
