Is it still in print? This was a small paperback originally published in 1966, which I think is important specifically for the the section"Tree and Leaf" which contain Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories" and the short story "Leaf by Niggle", explanation and example of Tolkien's idea of subcreation. If you can't find the original paperback, the essay is I'm sure online.There are also a couple of short stories in the book.
"That is one thing that Men call 'hope.' Amdir we call it, 'looking up.' But there is another which is founded deeper. Estel we call it, that is 'trust.' It is not defeated by the ways of the world, for it does not come from experience, but from our nature and First Being. If we are indeed the Eruhin, the Children of the One, then He will not suffer Himself to be deprived of His own, not by any enemy, not even by ourselves. This is the last foundation of estel, which we keep even when we contemplate the End. Of all His designs the issue must be for His children's joy." Finrod, Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, HoME X Morgoth's Ring

I'm a new person with a question but I'm not really sure where I should put it.

That probably would have been smart to start with.

I'd interpret "secondary sources"

But, keep in mind the focus of the paper
