How did Sherlock Holmes conclude that the person who wrote the letter was staying at the hotel?

He deduces that it was a warning, and a friendly warning, by someone who wished to remain anonymous. It was rushed due to fear of discovery and carried in the pocket until such time as it could be mailed. He also knew that most of the words were cut out of The Times (London), and the other words were printed to conceal the sender. We learn at the end of the story that he detected a hint of perfume on the letter, which indicated a female sender.

∙ 8y agoDr Mortimer stated that they had chosen the Northumberland Hotel on the day Sir Henry arrived. When Holmes checked the registry book of that hotel, he learned that the person who made the note (or letter) was NOT staying at the same hotel. The familiarity that they had with the movements of Sir Henry and Dr Mortimer strongly suggests that they were staying nearby although Cartwright did not find the cut up newspaper when he searched through the trash at the 23 nearby hotels.
By the way, I do not believe there is, or ever was, a Northumberland Hotel in London though many hotels are located on Northumberland Avenue.
