29 September | In the House of Tom Bombadil - Flight to the Ford
The hobbits meet Mr. Butterbur, a loquacious and scatterbrained innkeeper at Bree. It turns out he was supposed to have delivered a letter to Frodo from Gandalf months ago but it had slipped his mind. The letter urged Frodo to leave the Shire at once and make for Rivendell. Mr. Butterbur does what he can to make amends. He purchases Bill the Pony for the hobbits after their other horses are stolen.
