The Hobbit Survivor

[Kuruharan]

Odd...in my reading of Letter 76, all I see is a brief discussion of the name Gamgee and a performance of Hamlet.

For something relevant to the discussion, in Letter 355 (to a M. Gros of Dijon) he writes...

I was mistaken about the status of Elanor as the fairest of the Hobbits. By some grievous oversight, I crossed the word for "the Fair" with the word for "the Horse's Rear" (the two words being practically identical in Weston). Unfortunately, the publishers have failed to answer my demands to correct this problem. I'll see them in court! In answer to your question, Belladonna Took (Bilbo's mother) was actually the most beautiful of the Hobbits.

The producers won’t be able to stand it if the sex appeal is voted off the island.

Now for Tom, on the other hand, do we really need two trolls? They’ve devastated the native sheep population of the island.
