Author's Note: Regards "The Adventure of the Final Problem"

"Years"
The paper has yellowed slightly. Perhaps I did not immediately preserve it properly. I could hardly comprehend the text at the time, much less think towards the future, when these small pieces of note-paper would become my tether across the years.I have not always been alone: Mary was with me for two years after our time in Meiringen.
Now I pull my hat down a little lower when the wind blows coldest.
Three years and I have not pushed my injured body to frantically keep up with his racing mind.
If only I would have followed him that day.
