This letter was written by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], from Undershaw, Hindhead, between 1897 and 1900, to an unknown recipient.

He wrote about the title of his short story [[The Début of Bimbashi Joyce]] published in 1900 in the [[Punch (London)|Punch]].


== Letter ==

I write to you because I might not catch Burnand. Perhaps "The Coming of the Bimbashi" would be a better title. I used 'Debut' because I don't know an equivalent but certainly it should have an accent. The omission was ignorance and carelessness not design. 

Best wishes for the new member.
