How did Gandalf know? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think Gandalf guessed about Frodo maybe using it. The letter was written several months before Frodo had set out... in fact, I'm sure that Frodo did not use the ring between when he last talked to Gandalf and when Gandalf wrote the letter. Gandalf probably assumed that Frodo would by the time he got it. Even if he hadn't used the ring, it still makes sense as a reminder.
