Early partial ALS, one page, 4.25 x 1.5, no date. In full: "I write of course for Tonie—Amy will forgive it being to you instead of to her, but I know you take a lot of shifting. Let us know about dates, as we must fit in with others." In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, and some light show-through from old mounting remnants on the back. The "Amy" referred to in the letter is quite possibly the wife of Dr. Reginald Hoare. who Doyle worked with for a period of eight months as a 20-year-old medical student, a distinction which dates this letter to circa 1880.
