== Letter ==

June 12th, 1943.

Dear Mr Jordan,

I have to thank you for your letter of the 7th instant, the contents of which are carefully noted.

On behalf of my father's Estate, I am glad to give the permission requested by O.W.I. It is, of course, clearly understood that the material concerned will only be used for the specific purpose indicated in your letter.

Incidentally, I have shown your letter to my friend Mr Elmer Davis, Director of War Information in Washington. I knew that he would be interested in the matter, in view of the fact that he is one of the original founder members, with Alexander Woollcott and [[Christopher Morley]], of the [[The Baker Street Irregulars|Baker Street Irregulars]], which is the parent body of the many hundreds of Sherlock Holmes Societies scattered all over the United States.

Yours sincerely,

Denis P. S. Conan Doyle.

P.S. I make one specific stipulation, that my father's name, "SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE", must be associated with each and every broadcast.
