The scanned image of an old invitation for Christopher Tolkien's 21st birthday. It says: Professor and Mrs. Tolkien request the pleasure of your company on Wednesday, November 21st, 1945, to assist them in celebrating the Coming of Age of their Son Sub-Lieutenant C. J. R. Tolkien, RNVR. 6:30 pm onwards, RSVP if not coming. The bottom texts say: Carriage at midnight, ambulances at 2 a.m, wheelbarrows at 5 a.m, hearses at daybreak.
For #TolkienTrewsday theme of Christopher Tolkien:
My favorite tidbit is this humorous invitation by #Tolkien for Christopher's 21st birthday party, which looked...promising, judging from the bottom note.
