Letter 8 is the eighth letter written by J.R.R. Tolkien published in The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien.

Summary[]

Tolkien informed the Vice Chancellor of Leeds University that he had been elected (see Letter 7) to the Rawlinson and Bosworth professorship at Oxford, and therefore was rendering his resignation. He apologised for the brevity of his appointment at Leeds, where he had only been working five years.
