Sherlock Holmes and John Watson had made the perfect couple. Or, they would have made the perfect couple. People would make big eyes at them in the street, making John blush. It didn't seem like Sherlock gave a damn though. He would just walk on with his coat color turned upSizing dose many ways John and Sherlock would have been the perfect couple. But whenever John heard of this, he would turn a bright red and fiercely defend himself. But despite this, John did love Sherlock. Sadly there was one ginormous problem, and about twenty small ones. But the main problem was Sherlock was dead. John had taken his death badly to say the least. He had been shut out from the world for about a year, and was ready to commit suicide, if Lestrade had not stopped him. He missed Sherlock more then anything, and he rementire confident that Sherlock was not a fake and that Moriarty was real, despite what everybody said. Lestrade had asked John to start taking the some cases. John would never be as good as Sherlock. Nobody would ever be as good as Sherlock. But he did ok. He used everything that Sherlock had tought him, and he actually did ok.

It was only a few days ago that Lestrade had come to him with a case. He had solved the case, he was positive, but there was a not that he could not read. John had gone pale at the sight of the letter. It was written in blood, but that was not the only reason. He told Lestrade that he would work on it. Then sat down to the letter.

7/1/1861

John looked at the letter, then slowly began to dissect it.

Hamish. Somebody who knew his middle name must have wrote it for him. Clearly not the dead woman, so it was not a suicide note.

Yankees. What does that mean? Yankees. A NY baseball team that John did not follow or care about. Yankees. The name for the men on the north in the civil war.

7/1/1861 1861- civil war 7-july 1-first day of the month.

Yankees. 1861. Military related. Coincidence? John knew a few codes from the military and tried them out. But the note didn't make sense. He went to the computer and looked up codes used in the civil war for the north. The Freemasons. He followed the steps. The had 7/1/ one was the first day of the month so the second line on the chart. He slowly began to translate the letter.

My dear John Watson

I know it is hard for you Just do me a favor

REMEMBER ME
