I just came across this FAQ list re: the Letters http://users.telerama.com/~taliesen/...ettersfaq.html

It breaks the letters into 16 divisions
Categories.

This document is a compilation of Frequently Asked Questions, or likely-to-be-asked questions, about the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, all of which are answered (or at least addressed) by the Professor himself in his own words as published in Humphrey Carpenter's The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien. There are no answers typed here—only the numbers (and in the case of very long letters, the page numbers) of the letters which address the question.

hope this is of some help to those looking for more of an introduction to the leters and for those who have it a crib index for the most commonly called upon entries.

The questions in this FAQ were derived, compiled, and indexed by Mike Brinza. copyrighted too!
