The other guardians of the Three? That is Elrond and Gandalf, and Gandalf was just mentioned a couple of lines back. That strikes me as a strange line and not wholly convincing.

The quote is taken completely out of context...the next line(s) of the letter should be included. Remember it says "IF" Galadriel could, Elrond could too, but that is not the case.

It is also important to note that this line is explaining a hypothetical situation that may not even have been possible. The 'in any case' is like saying 'in the unlikely (or impossible) event that Elrond or Galadriel did obtain the Ring and *keep* it from Sauron': Quote:
