Title
Holograph letter to A. P. Watt
Date
May 20, 1903
Description
Conan Doyle approached the new stories with his usual diligence, sending each to Watt as soon as the ink was dry. He cautioned Watt that the order in which he produced the tales would not necessarily be their publication order:
Would you let Collier’s know that I don’t want the order of delivery to be necessarily the order of appearance and that I am trying to do them a good Xmas one, which would mean that the last delivered would be postponed till after it. The Strand know about this.
