== Letter ==

My dear Mr. Reid

How about your new book? I am looking forward to it.

I want you to do something for me. A chap in Glasgow has dramatised 'Holmes' and I am very sick about it. Would it bore you too much to attend one performance and let me know what it is like. If you go you might send me your programme. Another point is that I want to know whether my name appears on the posters. It is possible that I may take action on the matter. 

Yours very truly

A Conan Doyle.
