Maybe the messages left by Bilbo to various people detailing his reasons for giving them things. Some of these messages and reasons could be considered cruel, especially the one addressed to Lobelia.

Hello, all, and sorry about disappearing again. I had guests over, and other things.

I was there to give a message -i.e. "how about writing back to people?" I could help to make some more. -by its nature. Not sure about the second couplet- maybe the idea is that it conveys an insult in r.s., though I can't really think of one that would fit. (Ink/stink?)

Exactly right, Nerwen, and well done Urwen for guessing it was one of Bilbo's gifts 'speaking.'
A 'pen and ink' is indeed Cockney slang for a stink, but that wasn't Bilbo's meaning; nor would such a meaning be known in the Shire, as far as I know. (Maybe more Shagrat and Gorbag's style?)  And a pen and ink bottle could, as Nerwen said, be used to write further messages. I never thought, though, to get such a different interpretation as Celebrimbor on a pole! That was an eye-opener!

Urwen did most of the work, actually.
Anyway- Named for trees Both, we be; Sundered from our loves for art. I left a desert of the land- You left a desert of the heart.

Feanor would fit perfectly, except he isn't named after a tree.
