Yes! We have a winner
Not only did Naomi Mitchison (Haldane's sister) help proofread
The Lord of the Rings; she also provided a quote for the dustjacket: "it is timeless, and will go on and on."
Edmund Wilson mentions Mitchison by name in his review, as one of those providing "eulogies" for the book.
Btw, Mitchison later went off LOTR. She didn't much like "The Return of the King".
