Dear Brother,

The news I bear should give you cause for hope.

I can confirm that John Watson’s body was not among those exhumed from the mass grave.

You should come to London and oversee the dossier I prepared since more information has been discovered. Witnesses accuse one Johannes Steigler of the atrocity at Field Hospital 15.

Do not let your pride prevent you from accepting my assistance. I know how much this means to you. There are useful contacts in the War Office, and elsewhere, who are still indebted to me.

Courage, mon frère,  we will find him!

M

.oOOo.

Please sign the guestbook

Very good :)

Thanks! A Watson letter would not fit into 100 words!

Not thought of that, but you're absolutely right! :P

P.S. And neat to see this somewhat continued! Looking forward to a further continuation some time.

Oh, thank goodness. I've been hoping you would continue this (and really hoping for a happy ending). :-)

Thank you! Eventually, I hope to flesh out this plot in a multi-chapter story.

Mycroft Holmes' and Sherlock Holmes' combined resources form a formidible force!
Thanks for commenting!

Oh dear! Sherlock, don't you DARE let your pride prevent you from getting ALL the help you could use in finding Watson!!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Yes, the end of The Great War is a time of confusion. Sherlock will need all the help he can get! (Thanks for commenting!)

Eventually, I hope to flesh out this plot in a multi-chapter story, but slow writer is slow.

So glad you're continuing this!
And... phew! Glad Mycroft's news wasn't more dire!
I'll look forward to the next entry in the series (please?).

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

Thank you! A multi-chapter story will be in the works... right behind other works already in progress. The next installment is HERE.

More Mycroft! Yay! I love how this is evolving... I'm going to go read the next part!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

You started me on this Mycroft thread! Thank you!

Oh Holmes will never give up finding his closest friend! :) I do hope Watson will be ok!

[capt-facepalm.livejournal.com]

I hope that Watson will be okay too!
