To my friend Samwise Gamgee:
Sam, forgive the urgency of this message but you will understand my haste soon enough.
To put it bluntly, Gondor needs your help. The flowers of Minas Tirith are dying. Tree after tree has shriveled as well. My son loves his gardens and can't figure out why this is happening. Aragorn has consulted with many an elf and no one has been able to help us. And though he hasn't mentioned this, I wonder if Aragorn thinks that his kingdom is being threatened by some evil force!?!?!
I thought of you, Sam. You're good with plants. Maybe you have some sort of hobbit remedy that could work. I know it's a long shot but please, will you come to our aid? Bring Frodo if you want. Anyone or anything that might help.
It would take too long to send a horse to get you. So I hope you can find a swift horse on your own. Thank you, Sam. I will be forever in your debt if you can make the time to ride to Gondor.
Your friend,
Arathorn father of Aragorn
