<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:letter-sacd-19xx-10-05-woodward.jpg|thumb|250px|right|]]<br /> <br /> This letter was written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]] on 5 october [year?] from Windlesham, to [[Arthur Smith Woodward]] (1864-1944), paleontologist at the British Museum.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Letter ==<br /> <br /> My dear Woodward<br /> <br /> I don&#039;t know about the Admiral, but I can assure you that what we saw was not a turtle — tho&#039; the idea of a turtle without his shell did occur to me. I&#039;m afraid that in zoology as in psychic matters I am drifting with the position where I can only answer objections by saying &quot;I saw it.&quot;<br /> <br /> All thanks for the valued book. I went to Bracklesham for fossils but find that the famous beds are submarine!<br /> <br /> : Yours very sincerely<br /> <br /> :: A Conan Doyle<br /> <br /> Oct 5.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Letters|Back to Conan Doyle&#039;s letters]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
