Early July 1916

My Dear Holmes,

Just a few words in response to your latest letter, which has finally caught up with me.

It is July once more, and I have been thinking of the days when we woke to the dawn chorus, heard birdsong all day long, and at night there was the sound of the owl and the nightingale.

And today I remembered that strange case involving Mr Grant Munro, which led me to recall how well received your Bohemian role had been.  And how we had discussed the case over the breakfast marmalade – do you remember Mrs Hudson commenting on how many orange pips there had been, when she made it?

By the way, I am still of the same opinion I expressed shortly before we met Miss Cushing.

Yours

J H Watson
