Does anyone know which of Tolkien's letters the following comes from: "The most widespread assumption of our time: that if a thing can be done, it must be done. This seems to me wholly false."

I've found this quote in other sources, but have been unable to find it in the original.

That's #186 "From a letter to Joanna de Bortadano (drafts)"
