Dear Watson,

I have heard about your recent accident and I insist you come to Surrey to recuperate. As a medical man, you cannot deny the healing properties of our fresh country air.

The grouse are plentiful this year, as are the foxes, and if you are not up to shooting, the riverbank is quiet and that trout of yours is spoiling for a rematch.

Mr Holmes is welcome to join us, and if shotguns and fishing rods are not his cup of tea, I’m sure that the eccentricities of my neighbours will amuse him.

With highest regards,

Hayter
Reigate
