I read somewhere online that Tolkien had stated in one of his letters when asked about the subject that he had not even thought of it before, and that he would like to believe that the entwives were in the shire even though he had originally stated that they were killed in the battle, however he himself was not to sure on that matter...So if Tolkien was not sure then how are we to be sure. I myself would also like to believe that the entwives were in the shire.

I'm sorry I don't have the source of this for you...It was a long time ago that I read it when I was studying up on the matter. I'm going to sleep now being that it is 2:30 in the morning here, but if I can find it again I will certainly post the link to it here [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
