Letter 20

Letter 20 is the twentieth letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien and published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.
== Summary ==
This letter was written to C.A. Furth of Allen & Unwin. Mr. Furth (on the 17th of December) wrote to Tolkien that the demand for The Hobbit became so critical with the beginning of the Christmas orders that the Allen & Unwin company had to rush the reprint. He further stated that at the last minute, the crisis was so terrible that they had to receive some reprints from their printers at Woking, U.K., out of their private car. Tolkien thanks Mr. Furth for "the account of recent events with regard to 'the Hobbit.'". Tolkien spoke about some changes he'd like to see made to the text of the next edition, including correcting some mistakes pointed out by Mr. Arthur Ransome. The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, Letter 20
