We found a copy of Humphrey Carpenter's "JRR Tolkien: A Biography" in an Oxfam bookshop this morning ... with a postcard from Carpenter to one of the Inklings, Robert Havard!
As well as being an Inkling, Havard was doctor to Tolkien and to CS Lewis, and to their families. Apparently he was nicknamed "U.Q.", short for "Useless Quack", by the Inklings.
