Dear Mister Frodo,

It is me Sam.

I don't rightly know when you'll get this, but I hope it's soon.

It'd be very strange to have a kitten named after yorself I'd be thinking, but it's no wunder they named it "Muffin".

I've hav not seen Merry in a while, but I know the lad enugh to know for sure he is very carless with his little daintes.

Not that I'm comparig him to anyon. And I doo hop your litle adventure is exciting! Doo not tell anybody I sayd that. I'd never hear the end of, "Samwise, you oght to be mor carful with yor words.", and "Sam Gamgee, doo not bee encuragin such nonsens in someons hed. Especaly since yuu doo not no haf of wat you are saing".

That is wat they'd all be saing. No encuragin adventurs, evn litle ons.

Oh, bother!

I have just gon ther and spiled the ink. Just wait till my old Gaffer heers about this. and of corse, he will want to reed the leter.

Oh, but I do love him.

Good buy for now Mister Frodo,

Samwise Gamgee
