My Dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes
"You really did it very well. You took me in completely. Until after the alarm of fire, I had not a suspicion. But then, when I found how I betrayed myself, I began to think. I had been told that if the King employed an agent it would certainly be you. And your address had been given me. Yet, with all this, you made me reveal what you wanted... I leave a photograph which he might care to possess; and I remain, dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Very truly yours, Irene Norton, nee Adler" (A Scandal in Bohemia)
 
Two Letters
Two letters were found on the body of Enoch J. Drebber, one addressed to E. J. Drebber and the other to Joseph Stangerson. Both letters were from the Guion Steamship Company and they referred to boats sailing from Liverpool. (A Study in Scarlet)
