The structure of the proposed material for publication showed in this letter could orientate in some ways but I think does not fit with a TftE project whatever is.

First, is the structure of a Silmarillion 'edited' by Tolkien, that is, his extracts from the Thain's Book.

Well I say this entering in the Perilous Realm, of course.

Second, this is the structure in Tolkien's mind in 1951. After this date many texts were writen.

For my part, except the concept of the Annals (in my opinion imposible of manage) and the material that were published at last in the Appendices of TLotR, the rest of the titles were used.

Greetings.
