I agree with Bruce...and there's (as far as I know) one other letter where he compares his legendary and historical things with those of Earth itself. For example: Numenor was compared with and made by the story of Atlantis.

This letter is the letter to Milton Waldman, 1951. It is fully told in the Silmarillion, edition: 1999. From page x to xxix. Quiet a letter. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
