ALS signed “A. Conan Doyle,” one page, 5.25 x 7, February 2 [1926]. Doyle writes F. M. Sands of Maryland. In full: “You are very wise to stick to any faith which makes you a better man. It is on the latter point that we are judged. When you enter the other world you will find that no one worries about what you believed. But what your character is decides your position there.” Intersecting horizontal and vertical folds crossing his signature and one line of text, and faint mirroring of a few words, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope postmarked February 2, 1926. The famed author was obsessed with spiritualism and attempted to find proof of existence beyond the grave, with this letter profoundly outlining some of his beliefs of “the other world.”
