Sir, — I observe that at Sir Lewis McIvor's meeting last night someone, on his referring to my work in South Africa, calls out that I had gone there "on business principles." It is not a point which I could have raised, but since this statement has been made, you will permit me to say that I have never received a shilling for those services which I very gladly gave to my country. Far from profiting by them, my expedition cost me £200. I am sorry to intrude these personal details, but the point was not of my raising.<br />
<br />
I am, &c. <br />
<br />
A. CONAN DOYLE<br />
