This story made ​​me remember “A Scandal in Bohemia” by Arthur Conan Doyle because in both cases is lost a letter. However, Edgar Allan Poe writes his way and the mystery is solved completely differently. Also shows that sometimes, the hidden is before our eyes and still that we can not see.

A cool little story. The middle is a little thick and dry, but the rest is really well written.
