<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[File:Letter-acd-1901-12-12-herbert-greenhough-smith.jpg|250px|right|Conan Doyle&#039;s letter (ca. 1900)]]<br /> <br /> This letter was written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], from Golden Cross Hotel, Charing Cross, W.C., London (UK), on 12 december 1901, before the publication of his book [[The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct]] ([[Smith, Elder &amp; Co.]]), to [[Herbert Greenhough Smith]], editor of [[The Strand Magazine]].<br /> <br /> George Murray Smith (of Smith, Elder &amp; Co.) was dead in april 1901, so the letter was rather to Herbert Greenhough Smith (hint: &quot;My dear Smith&quot;, and writing about Smith to the same Smith is not logical).<br /> <br /> <br /> == Letter ==<br /> <br /> My dear Smith,<br /> <br /> I am coming to the conclusion that Newnes can&#039;t help us. If we can get Smith heartily upon our side, and if we can give the venders all the projects we shall do very well.<br /> <br /> Could you send a History to Adrian Hofmeyer, Carlton Hotel.<br /> <br /> : Yours always<br /> <br /> :: A Conan DOYLE.<br /> <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>
