Subject:
The original was lost over the years
Message:

But Pippin had a copy in the great Thain's Library that he built, which he took with him to Minas Tirith. There it was the subject of scholarship and commentary (and correction of the non-hobbit details) and then presented back to Thain Faramir (or a descendant) some time later. It's this copy, the Thain's Book, that has survived through the ages of the world to be translated by Tolkien. (totally into the conceit here).

So there's the ultimate effect of Merry and Pippin's departure for Gondor: the survival of the story into our own time.

Pirates, chiefs, queens, maidens, blue wizards, an ancient Jewel, and one incorrigibly curious hobbit: The Falcon: The Adventures of Peregrin Took. Can you ever go home again?
