Tolkien states that he is touched to be remembered, explaining that he received his correspondent`s card and is now taking some time to write to his friends. The author continues to thank Mroczkowski for having let him know about a Polish translation and remarks `Alas! the Slavonic languages were (to my regret now) one of the important things that I neglected in days when the mind was quicker and more retentive, and I fear that there is now no hope that I shall ever be able to judge whether a translation of my works is good or bad-except in the crudest points, such as the omission of whole sentences (of which the Dutchman was at time guilty).` He further thanks Mroczkowski`s wife for her efforts with the Essay on Fairy Stories which Tolkien explains is out of print and difficult to obtain, adding `The Oxford Univ. Press did not behave well about that volume. It was intended to be sold for the benefit of Charles Williams` widow, but the Press let it go out of print quickly and refused to reprint when a demand developed.` A letter of interesting content.
