Diary of Merry Brandybuck
Dear Diary,
Today, we crossed the Bridge and are well on our way to Rivendell. (A/N: I've been just going by the timeline in the appendices...that's all.) Frodo kept mumbling something about Holly and Jessica and it made me realize just how much I miss them. I have a bad feeling that things aren't going so well back at the Shire. I wish I could send a note back home, but I know it would be intercepted and our location would be discovered.
Holly, dear...I miss you more than ever! I wish I could see your face in the morning light after waking up from a long night's sleep. This gave me an idea for a poem! Maybe I'll send that home...I hope I can come home soon, things are getting rough here. I hope Frodo survives, because I know you love him! I don't know why I'm writing as if this were a letter, I just feel like you can hear my thoughts.
Jessica, I love you! You are the sweetest girl I've ever known and I hope you know that. I hope Holly's cooking nice warm meals for you and making sure that you don't die of starvation. Please don't starve yourself because I'm not there, I will be back, I promise! I love you and will always remember you. I hope you guys stay well; I love you both.
