Letter

My dear Smith

I am sending you The Story of the Man with the Watches". I think it is a good one. So glad — for I like to give a good article for a good price. In fact my hesitation in taking on a series is founded upon that. I know I can furnish the stuff but I don't know that I can furnish the sort of stuff I want to turn out.

So glad you liked the Beetles.

Yours very truly

A Conan Doyle.
