Well, if Brown became involved in the discussions being held as the group prepares to depart, it could become evident that his extensive knowledge and experience would be useful. Or, you could all leave without him, and he could follow behind after discovering you had gone the wrong way, or had a bad map, or something.
If anyone is to recommend that Brown be taken along, it ought be Fred or Tansy, as Brown is acquainted with both of them.
Brown is currently reading a book which I was thinking might contain some pertinent information concerning the Ents and the Entwives, since the book is a collection of Merry's letters and speeches. Perhaps Merry records other conversations he and Pippin had with Treebeard or Quickbeam concerning the Entwives? Might be useful?
