Gee Whiz!

Here is one of the letters received about the Hobbit Tolkien did he sent to his son, Christopher. His son what stationed in South Africa during WWII and Tolkien would send him chapters from Lord of the Rings as he wrote them.
From a Letter to JRR Tolkien's son Christopher (JRRT, Letters # 87):
Dear Mr Tolkien,
I have just finished reading your book The Hobbit for the 11th time and I want to tell you what I think of it. I think it is the most wonderful book I have ever read. It is beyond description ... Gee Whiz, I am surprised it's not more popular, indeed ... If you have written any other books, would you please send me Their names?

I thought thesis extracts from a letter I got yesterday would amuse you. I find letters thesis Which I occassionally get quiet (apart from the smell of incense Which fall you can never quite fail to savor) make me rather sad. What Thousands of grains of good human corn must fall on barren, stony ground, if seeking a very small drop of water Should be so intoxicating! But I suppose one Should be grateful for the grace and fortune thathave allowed me to Provide Even the drop. God bless you beloved. Do you think The Ring will come off, and reach the thirsty?
