Mr. Conan Doyle and America

The Editor of the Daily Chroncile.
Sir, — I observe some impressions of America attributed to me in The Daily Chronicle which are quite unauthorised and largely incorrect. I formed no such sweeping opinion as to the institutions of the two countries, and I saw many points in which I thought that we had much to learn. As to the better feeling between England and America I was convinced that it was on the increase, and I believe one of the chief obstacles which it has to encounter is the irritating criticisms made by travellers, who generalise upon a short experience, and who fail to allow for the fact that conditions which are dissimilar to our own must evolve different types and different methods. — Yours faithfully.
- A. CONAN DOYLE.
