Concerning this passage:
A great sleepiness came over Frodo; he felt himself sinking fast into a warm and hazy dream. He thought a fire was heating his toes, and out of the shadows on the other side of the hearth he heard Bilbo’s voice speaking. I don’t think much of your diary, he said. Snowstorms on January the twelfth: there was no need to come back to report that!
But I wanted rest and sleep, Bilbo, Frodo answered with an effort, when he felt himself shaken, and he came back painfully to wakefulness.
Frodo was beginning to die of exposure. I believe that in his dream, Bilbo was chiding Frodo with a bit of hobbitry for making a boring diary instead of frantically alarming Frodo of his possible death.
