Making Progress
Letter
"Merry, you don't have Gandalf's letter from Bree, do you?"
"No. I thought you had it."
"Hmm. I must have left it at Rivendell." Frodo sat back and tapped his pen against his chin. "I will have to paraphrase for now."
Merry chuckled as he blew smoke rings out over the garden, where Legolas and Sam were busy in a flowerbed. "At this rate, Cousin Frodo, you'll leave nothing left for Bilbo to write!"
"Oh, I think Bilbo will have had enough of writing stories down when he finishes his own book." No, this story was Frodo's to write down.
