And peace of mind is coming to our Frodo.

AntaneReviewed Chapter: 8 on 10/18/2006
I love these letters! They are so sweet and friendly. And Sam's spelling is certainly improving. So sweet of Frodo to compliment him on that and confiding his fears of being in the water again and Sam assuring him he'll do fine and signing one of his letters Your Samwise. Brothers already! Many thanks for your kind reviews of Love Endures and Via! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Author Reply: Glad you're enjoying these, they were such fun to write. I love writing with someone who views the characters like I do, it makes it so much fun! You're welcome for the reviews! I haven't been reading much lately, though, since I've been really busy. I'm trying to catch up this weekend.
God bless,
Ellie

These are so cute! I love the time-frame you have chosen to explore, the year after Frodo went to live with Bilbo, and Pippin being a new baby, and little Merry. Frodo's letters are so gentle and interested in Sam, and I love Sam's efforts to improve his spelling. Adorable.

Author Reply: Thanks! I've been wanting to do a story about this time for a long while, and only just recently thought of asking Eleon to write it with me.
God bless,
Ellie

I am sure that Sam is right about trusting Frodo more than Merry. Bilbo has been a good influence, not to mention Sam himself.

Loved Sam's encouragement on the swimming - the utter confidence that Frodo will do more than fine!

Author Reply: Glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!
God bless,

I hope Sam or Frodo kept these letters! What a sweet correspondence to look back on.

Author Reply: I'm sure they did. I don't think either of them would want to throw them out. Thanks for reviewing!
God bless,

Our Sam is up a tree? Now that's as unexpected to me as him wanting to swim with Frodo!

Nice learning of his spelling as he goes along.

Author Reply: Yes, Sam is up a tree... we will see where that's headed. I think Sam would have said he'd go swim with Frodo.... until he got to the water, that is. Lol! I love how Eleon did his spelling! I'm glad everyone else agrees.
God bless,

What is srange, is that, in all the story's , the people that go on these adventures, don't seem to plan them. But, I supose that is Merry for you, he hass just got to have all his things in order, planed, and werking like a littlle grane mill.



Yes that is Merry - he even had the beginning of the quest all planned out! It was a shame that it wouldn't stay all nice and controlled! Oh well, then it wouldn't have made a story worth the telling!

Lots of fun! Well done both of you.

Author Reply: Indeed! Eleon pulled that out in this letter, and I hadn't even realized it before! Merry does plan everything, doesn't he? Thank you very much from both of us!
God bless,
Ellie

Sweet letters between these two! Like the spelling errors - something very sweet about that and that they are corresponding and the warmth and friendliness in Frodo's letters and the words of 'wisdom' (not quite) that Sam quotes. I can very easily believe he had heard those around him and that's a shame actually because he would absorb everything like a sponge at that age, but he's also absorbing Frodo's love to and Frodo is absorbing his. Certainly good for each other, they are! Looking forward to more! :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane

Author Reply: Thank you, dear! When I suggested Sam had just learned to write, she just ran with it, and that's what she wrote. I loved it! We are having such fun writing these, more should be here soon!
God bless,
Ellie
p.s. Eleon thanks you as well.

Lovely premise.

Author Reply: Thank you! It just kind of popped into my head one day, and Eleon agreed to write them with me! It's really fun!
God bless,
Ellie
