I felt a similar level of enthusiasm with Holmes as he spoke! Very endearing, both of them. I liked how they discussed their shortcomings, before jumping into sharing an apartment. Very responsible of them!
I forgot I had not yet replied to your first email, doctor! I am very much looking forward to hearing more tales about your friend Mr Holmes! It has been very exciting to read your accounts in The Strand, but these emails are much more accessible to busy people such as myself. Thank you for the correspondence! And I must wish you a very happy and exciting new year!
PS, Please do thank your secretary for all her hard work on this project, it is quite appreciated!
What a joy to wake and read this in my inbox. I can’t wait to read the rest, I’ve been meaning to re-read the Holmes stories for a year or so, and this is perfect. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
I'm so excited this substack has kicked off a little early! I've loved the Sherlock Holmes stories since I was very young and being able to experience them in this format will be such a joy! Thank you, Dr John H Watson, for compiling these in this way.
The start of a legendary friendship and the first of many legendary adventures!
