Letter

Dear Kinross

I am sending a copy of the book to the Author's Club library. Please have a look at the passage — it is about Chap. III I think, and tell me frankly if you think that there is anything offensive. If it had been said of me it would have amused me.

I wrote however to this lady's friend Mr. Nicholson (I think that's the man) and to Hamlin Garland saying I was sorry if I had unwittingly offended anyone.

Of course I could not dream of giving the name of my quite innocent informant.

Yours sincerely
A. Conan Doyle
