Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

I just got the letters yesterday and I don't have time to go through the whole book right now. I would like to know which letters are the best.

Depends...
My favourite is #144, very interesting information in it...and I think #256 but I might be remembering wrong

However, I guess all are interesting in their own way, depending on what you wantto learn from them. Some talk more about ME-related issues, others are more personal and let you find out more about Tolkien himself.
