My dear Mr. Smith,
Per our conversation of the 10th regarding the ms's unusual length, I am writing to propose that you delete the following text from Part One of "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty" before printing. I am sure that whatever expense you are put to for the new typesetting will ultimately be made up by a savings in the cost of printing. It has no bearing on the story, and was included purely because my readers seem to take an interest in these mundane sitting-room conversations between us. I intend to make similar cuts to Part Two before delivering on the deadline as we agreed. I believe no actual editing will be required. You can merely delete everything between ' "It does not tell us very much does it?" he remarked, as he handed it back to me' and ' "Hardly anything." ' However, that there may be no confusion, I replicate in the enclosure the exact portion of the text that I wish to suppress.
Thank you for your patience. I may say that apart from the length, there are many considerations which have induced me to make this change, and I very much appreciate your accommodating my wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. John Watson.

Holmes & Watson from Mrs Hudson's pov and a glimpse of my version of her past history.
I heard them come in a little after midnight. I heard them laughing and it wasn’t that brittle laugh Mr Holmes has when he’s been injecting heaven knows what. It was genuine and full of warmth. They were laughing because they were happy and the next morning Dr Watson’s bed hadn’t been slept in.

Summary
“I have never loved, but if I did, and if the woman I had loved had met with such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done. Wouldn’t you?”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
--
As we returned from our trip to Cornwall, I couldn’t help but ponder upon what Holmes had said to me earlier when I questioned his judgement on this, as well as on the Abbey Grange case. It was so seldom that we spoke of love and similar matters, and I simply couldn’t get it out of my head. He had indeed sounded so thoughtful and emotional for a moment, that I was nearly thrown off, and as I sat next to him now, travelling back to our Baker Street flat, I desperately wanted to bring it up again. I’ll admit it was for entirely self-indulgent reasons. A part of me had been, as of late, dancing around an idea that I hadn’t yet allowed myself to fully entertain, and as we spoke of love and devotion, I couldn’t help but step closer to it.
Holmes and Watson have a discussion about love.
