== Letter ==<br />
<br />
My Dear Major<br />
<br />
It was quite a pleasure to me to see your handwriting again. I shall always regret that I did not see you when you came to London. Pray give my kindest remembrances to Mrs. Pond and the little man. You will, I am sure, be glad to hear that my wife's health has much improved.<br />
<br />
Has not the Anglo-American 'entente cordiale' which I preached when I was in the States grown since 1894. It is the best and healthiest sign in the waning century. But we have much still to do.<br />
<br />
Yours always<br />
<br />
A. Conan Doyle.<br />
