Dear Miss Adler,
I am entrusting you the care of (one) Mr. Holmes during my extended leave of absence.
I sincerely apologize for the short notice upon delegating on you the responsibility of Holmes' care through the 26th of February.
Please ensure he remains under your close supervision at all times and that he not engage in the following activities;
-Setting the room on fire.
-Dancing with Ms. Hudson! (by virtue of excessive laudanum intake).
-Experimenting with Bacon Gladstone Pugsley III
-Overall abandon of proper grooming, attire and manners etiquette.
-Removing garments and other property items from my closet and drawers.
I will reserve from further enumeration as I have in confidence that you might be aware of his past embarrassing behavior.
As woman of virtue and responsibility, I have utmost trust that you will caring and providing for his every need.
Once again, I am sorry and hope you will forgive my lack of foresight and burden being caused on to you by my unplanned departure.
Sincerely, your esteemed friend;
Dr. John H. Watson

My dear Dr. John Watson,
You will be happy to know that I have been following your advice to a letter, and that your dear friend Mr. Holmes is doing quite well.
Although no cases have yet arisen in your absence, with the keys to the medicine cabinet under utmost surveillance, I have managed to keep the restless Mr. Holmes at bay and (somewhat) behaving himself. Why, even today I managed to get him out of the house for a brief stint!
I have seen to it that no rooms have been set on fire, no laudanum induced dancing with the land lady, experimenting on Bacon Gladstone Pugsley III, or removal of your possessions has occured. His proper etiquette and grooming have proven a more difficult endeavor to achieve, however I have on several occasions managed to convince him to suffer through a bath, during which time I took proper care to ensure that he cleaned behind his ears.
Good luck with your convention and God Speed!
Sincerely yours,
Irene Adler

Dearest Irene,
I express my sincere gratitude at your commitment and efforts ensuring Holmes' proper care.
Upon reading your report I was much relieved and able to indulge in a proper night's sleep.
I am overjoyed that Holmes is taking to your good influence and believe you are far too modest, as your reputation and behaviour is known to be beyond reproach.
Please do not take too much concern upon failed attempts to influence his etiquette and grooming; I don't believe I have had the success you have had on him so far.
I am to compliment your attention to the back of his ears which has proven a most stubborn endevour as I have known Holmes over the years. Also, I am standing here astounded at your success of curving his bad habits and behavior which I feared in my previous letter. (Might I add that they hold promise of Ms Hudson becoming somewhat less sinister).
The convention was a smashing success, with keen interest from the audience upon my delivery of the results obtained by our past experiment. (You might recall Holmes' consent to allow us to experiment with the Erosinator's Salsa setting on his humdinger of a doozie).
I am in your debt.
Sincerely, your friend;
Dr. John H. Watson
