From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
This letter was written by Arthur Conan Doyle on 6 august 1894 from his house at 12 Tennison Road, South Norwood.

Letter
My dear Sir
Very many thanks for the charming book which you have sent me. I shall value it very highly. I have always been intensely interested in the fighting Puritan and have endeavoured to draw several types of him in "Micah Clarke." Oliver [1] was the greatest king we ever had in England and it will be a joy to me to read his career again in your pages.
Yours very truly
A Conan Doyle.
