Don't know of it. As to the 'unpublished lecture notes', I suspect its referring to Finn & Hengest , which was edited by Alan Bliss (actually what he did was gather together Tolkien's lecture notes). Downloading the sample from here (which is mostly the index) it seems that there are lots of references to those notes from F&H.

Don't know if F&H is published in the US, but Harper Collins publish it in the UK.

I've just bought Somme , which has 5 or 6 references to Tolkien, so I'm about too make a start on that (I suspect most of the references come from Garth's book, which is cited in the bibliography).
