Letter
29 Nov 1905
My dear Smith
I will let you have the rest of the copy in a day or two.
Smith, Elder & Co. will no doubt want to publish about the end of November 1906, but I conclude that will not affect you.
An author's opinion of his own work is not out of place in the literary gossip of a newspaper, but it is, I think, out of place as an advertisement.
- With kind regards
- Your very truly,
- Arthur Conan Doyle
- W [1]
- Your very truly,
- ↑ W. for Wood : Arthur Conan Doyle's secretary : Alfred H. Wood.
