Just as Rose was about ready to push open the door, she stopped.

She turned around and looked at Child.

Now Child was extremely curious about what was behind that door, but she wasn't sure whether or not Rose wanted her there at this exact moment. In any case, she had something puzzling which she needed to show to Rose.

"Rose, take a look at this," she said. "Remember, this was the letter addressed to Samwise which I never gave him"

Now Child looked down at her big furry toes and seemed a bit embarassed. She continued, "Well, the edge of this envelope was open just a little bit and my finger happened to catch on it, and somehow it came open. Now, I don't usually read other people's mail, but something in there caught my eye. Here, you read it:

Dear Master Samwise,

It has come to our attention that you and Master Baggins are currently residents of the Barrow-downs. It has also come to our attention that, within the Barrow-downs, reside a number of Elves.

As you well know, all Elves were supposed to leave Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age. Those left were required to shrink, diminish, and be forgotten.

We have carefully looked at a number of the Elves in the Barrow-downs, among them Piosenniel and Veritatis, and it does not appear that they are shrinking or diminishing. In fact they seem quite healthy.

We therefore request that you give this missive to the Barrow-wight or his chief assistant Mithadan. We require that all Elves currently in the Downs, but especially Pio and Veritatis and the others who will wander onto this vessel and who are of an ancient age, be required to come and live in Elvenhome in perpetuity. I repeat, they will not be permitted to leave the shores of the West once they have arrived.

We are calling upon you and Frodo as the chief of the Elf-friends to help enforce this rule. As you know, this is a very strict requirement which was put down by Eru and enforced by his chief agents Manwe and Namo.

Sincerely,

The Official Council of the Valar

Child glanced at Rose: "What should I do with this? And Rose, maybe I hallucinated this,but didn't you once tell me you were part Elf?
