My dear Sir<br />
<br />
Very many thanks for the charming book which you have sent me. I shall value it very highly. I have always been intensely interested in the fighting Puritan and have endeavoured to draw several types of him in "[[Micah Clarke]]." Oliver <ref>Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658).</ref> was the greatest king we ever had in England and it will be a joy to me to read his career again in your pages.<br />
<br />
Yours very truly<br />
<br />
A Conan Doyle.<br />
