My Dear Holmes,
I am now able to answer the question at the end of my last letter. I know why Barrymore signaled with a candle. First , let me tell you about Sir Henry and miss Stapleton. I told you that they are very friendly. I have found out that Sir Henry is in love with her. The truth is he wants to marry her. Yesterday morning he said to me “I am going to see Miss Stapleton . I was to go alone.
But Mr. Holmes, told me to stay with you, I said must not go across the moor on your own.
I shall go alone, said Sir Henry, and he went out.
I did not know what to do, I waited for ten minutes, then I decided to follow him. I did not see everything, but this is what happened.
Sir Henry met Miss Stapleton on the moor, He asked her to marry him-he told me this afterwards, They walked towards Merripit House to see Mr.Stapleton. They met him outside the house. Sir Henry told Stepleton the news.
