I am despicably busy but I do what I can for you. You will get a pamphlet sent you with my views and I enclose a former interview (which I want back). Between them you can get what you want or throw it into conversational form.

You might care to point out that apart from [[Sherlock Holmes]] I have written the [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Brigadier Gerard|Brigadier Gerard]] stories, the [[Professor Challenger]] books, a long line of historical novels including [[The White Company]] and [[Rodney Stone]], the histories of the Boer War and of the Great War, the standard [[The History of Spiritualism|History of Spiritualism]], a book of poems, several successful dramas "[[The Speckled Band: An Adventure of Sherlock Holmes|The Speckled Band]]" and much else. Who rescued two men falsely condemned [[The Case of Oscar Slater|Oscar Slater]] and [[George Edalji]]. I get a little restive at being for ever coupled with Holmes.

Notecard

Dear Sir,

I am despicably busy but I do what I can for you. You will get a pamphlet sent you with my views and I enclose a former interview (which I want back). Between them you can get what you want or throw it into conversational form.

You might care to point out that apart from Sherlock Holmes I have written the Brigadier Gerard stories, the Professor Challenger books, a long line of historical novels including The White Company and Rodney Stone, the histories of the Boer War and of the Great War, the standard History of Spiritualism, a book of poems, several successful dramas "The Speckled Band" and much else. Who rescued two men falsely condemned Oscar Slater and George Edalji. I get a little restive at being for ever coupled with Holmes.

Yours sincerely

A. Conan Doyle
