Also at the end of the section in the RotK appendices entitled " Durin's Folk" we read
Quote:
Here follows one of the last notes in the Red Book
We have heard tell that Legolas took Gimili Gloin's son with him becuse of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Elf and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-Earth for any ove, or that the Eldar should receive himor that the Lords of the west should permit it. But it is said that Gimili went also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and it may be that she being mighty among the Eldar obtained this grace for him. More cannot be said of this matter.
