MY
DEAR
WATSON
:
I
have
no
doubt
that
you
can
remember
"
Tadpole
"
Phelps
,
who
was
in
the
fifth
form
when
you
were
in
the
third
.
It
is
possible
even
that
you
may
have
heard
that
through
my
uncle
's
influence
I
obtained
a
good
appointment
at
the
Foreign
Office
,
and
that
I
was
in
a
situation
of
trust
and
honour
until
a
horrible
misfortune
came
suddenly
to
blast
my
career
.
There
is
no
use
writing
the
details
of
that
dreadful
event
.
In
the
event
of
your
acceding
to
my
request
it
is
probable
that
I
shall
have
to
narrate
them
to
you
.
I
have
only
just
recovered
from
nine
weeks
of
brain-fever
and
am
still
exceedingly
weak
.
Do
you
think
that
you
could
bring
your
friend
Mr.
Holmes
down
to
see
me
?
I
should
like
to
have
his
opinion
of
the
case
,
though
the
authorities
assure
me
that
nothing
more
can
be
done
.
Do
try
to
bring
him
down
,
and
as
soon
as
possible
.
Every
minute
seems
an
hour
while
I
live
in
this
state
of
horrible
suspense
.
Assure
him
that
if
I
have
not
asked
his
advice
sooner
it
was
not
because
I
did
not
appreciate
his
talents
,
but
because
I
have
been
off
my
head
ever
since
the
blow
fell
.
Now
I
am
clear
again
,
though
I
dare
not
think
of
it
too
much
for
fear
of
a
relapse
.
I
am
still
so
weak
that
I
have
to
write
,
as
you
see
,
by
dictating
.
Do
try
to
bring
him
.
Your
old
school-fellow
,
PERCY
PHELPS
.
There
was
something
that
touched
me
as
I
read
this-letter
,
something
pitiable
in
the
reiterated
appeals
to
bring
Holmes
.
So
moved
was
I
that
even
had
it
been
a
difficult
matter
I
should
have
tried
it
,
but
of
course
I
knew
well
that
Holmes
loved
his
art
,
so
that
he
was
ever
as
ready
to
bring
his
aid
as
his
client
could
be
to
receive
it
.
My
wife
agreed
with
me
that
not
a
moment
should
be
lost
in
laying
the
matter
before
him
,
and
so
within
an
hour
of
breakfast-time
I
found
myself
back
once
more
in
the
old
rooms
in
Baker
Street
.
Holmes
was
seated
at
his
side-table
clad
in
his
dressing-gown
and
working
hard
over
a
chemical
investigation
.
A
large
curved
retort
was
boiling
furiously
in
the
bluish
flame
of
a
Bunsen
burner
,
and
the
distilled
drops
were
condensing
into
a
two-litre
measure
.
