ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4 x 6, Grand Hotel, London letterhead, September 17, 1904. Doyle writes to his editor, W. W. Robson. In full: “I am of opinion that there is no good purpose to be served by my addressing meetings in November so long as I come up in October. If I short away all my cartridges now I shall not have them at the crisis. I will come October & then again late in Winter and come up in the interval without speaking, just for golf & to see the people. I am sure that is a sound scheme.” In fine, crisp, bright condition, with usual light mailing fold. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
