dear mr. Holmes

Hello, I’ve been a big fan of yours for 7 years, since I was 9 years old.
The first adventure that I read was [The Adventure of the Dancing Men]. I discovered the book, bound in cloth, in secondhand book shop. It seemed too difficult for me at that time, but I was absorbed in reading it in no time. I didn’t have enough pocket money so I haunted the store to read the book.
Your way of thinking excited my own curiosity, and sometimes when I was a child I tried to know other people’s thoughts/occupation/character. Unfortunately I soon realized that I don’t have the talent like you…
I’m not good at English but I want to read the original, and I also want to go to 221B someday.
Please give my best wishes to your assistant
Respectfully yours
