Author's Notes: The good Watson had at that time deserted me for a wife… Despite not appearing in it, for many years Watson insisted this story should not be published…
Newgate Prison 1903
Dear Holmes,
I have read your draft. Thank you for your discretion regarding my situation. (Curious you associate “wife” with “gaol”.) Though I fear acquaintances will probably recall that dearest Mary died in 1892.
Incidentally, my lawyer believes I will be declared innocent but in future you can do any “necessary” burglaries your CENSORED self.
Yours,
Watson
