Re: misc.

There was Cirdan as well who had been a Gaurdian, and Gil-galad (though long since dead). I would by extension, though the Letter only mentions Gandalf, include the other Istari with him. It is possible that one could include the other great among the Eldar with the gaurdians of the Three. But there is no way of knowing. That is why the Letter is so intriguing. Just what does he mean by 'especially Elrond'. It would seem to indicate that Elrond had some particular potency, possibly his Maia heritage.

Tar-Elenion The High Elves had been in the hands of the gods praising and adoring Eru 'the One', Iluvatar the Father of All on the Mountain of Aman</p>
