And one last thing in regards to those letters.

Did Tolkien really mean those things, or were those just ideas he had?

And also, why couldn't the people be immortal? If Sauron could make people immortal (the Ring Wraiths for example through their rings), couldn't The Valar do that as well? That's kind of flaw that I think Tolkien would've caught if he would've had the chance to actually write a book explaining the Blessed Realm.
