[Given the conversation with Sherlock, it takes Mary a couple of days to write back.]
John,
I don't blame you for not wanting to try the jerky. But, I imagine that the places we experienced were two sides of the same coin.
There are four people that Sherlock is very good with: you, Mrs Hudson, Mycroft, and me.
[The me was obviously more shakily written than the rest of the list, as if she wasn't sure if she should include herself or not.]
I'm glad you didn't let him move out. You two need each other. That's important and how it should be.
That first day we met here, you asked me who I was. I ask myself that question quite a bit. In fact, I was going through my closet here and I found a few scraps of paper that I wrote a few memories down. I can't call it a journal, since paper and writing utensils were scarce, but within a few weeks of returning from my death, that was a question I started to ask myself often.
I still don't have a good answer to it. But, I hope you and Sherlock will help me to find it.
