I wouldn't agree; he wrote about the Elder Days all the way till 1970, as noted in Late Writings, HoME XII, for example.

I admit putting to 'rest' was a bad way of saying it. I meant that he had wanted to publish The Silmarillion along with the Lord of the Rings, but after his publishers only took LOTR saying "The Sil wasn't in a presentable publishing format...". He tried to revise it and get it published, up until the 1960's where it seemed he just stopped trying to get it published.
