Reading The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, I ran across this gem from 1937 where Tolkien is trying to get paid for some color illustrations to the first American edition of The Hobbit. Quoting page 20, "At the moment, I am in such difficulties (largely owing to medical expenses) that even a very small fee would be a blessing."
Dang, some things never change.
