Isn't that the very same Miss Honeybourne about whom a Downer posted some time this summer? I recall a discussion of Tolkien's analysis of her name, which was distinctly geographical, had nothing to do with bees or birds.
But to return to the letter, I can't recall any mention that Tolkien had his own personal letterhead in the Collected Letters. There isn't any letterhead reproduced with the letter in the frontispiece to the Collected Letters. Seems a bit of a puff up if you ask me. His professional letters would have been typed on academic letterhead I should think.
