Concerning the spying missions of Gandalf. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Somewhere in the Letters, or perhaps in another source I have completelty forgotten, JRRT says that he wrote a 'Journeies of Gandalf' and a 'Journeys of Aragorn', but lost them!!!

Along with the unfinished Lay of Leithien, the also unfinished Of Tuor, the never written Earendil saga [we have only various synopsi and Bilbo's effort] these two lost writings certainly represent the saddest gaps in the Legendarium I can think of.

Of course what was lost may one day be found!

Anyone familiar with the source quote please post it!
