Following is Watson's explanation from the beginning of chapter 8:
"From this point onwards I will follow the course of events by transcribing my own letters to Mr Sherlock Holmes which lie before me on the table. One page is missing, but otherwise they are exactly as written, and show my feelings and suspicions of the moment more accurately than my memory, clear as it is upon these tragic events, can possibly do."
Then at the beginning of chapter 11 Watson writes:
"The extract from my private diary which forms the last chapter has brought my narrative up to the 18th of October, a time when these strange events began to move swiftly towards their terrible conclusion. The incidents of the next few days are indelibly graven upon my recollection, and I can tell them without reference to the notes made at the time."

In what stories did Sherlock Holmes say 'My dear Watson'?
By my count, Sherlock Holmes said that phrase 88 times in 35 of the 60 stories, and he wrote it as a salutation for a letter three more times. The list of stories would indeed be a long one. By the way, Holmes only said the word 'elementary' six times, and he wrote it twice though he never said: "Elementary, my dear Watson."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle actually wrote 60 stories about Sherlock Holmes.
Why did Sherlock Holmes used a hunting hat or deerstalker cap was there some kind of meaning behind it or special reason?
Conan Doyle wrote in 'The Boscombe Valley Mystery' the following description of Holmes' attire: "travelling-cloak and close-fitting cloth cap," which Sidney Paget, the illustrator in the early Strand Magazine stories, interpreted as an Inverness cape and deerstalker cap. These were often used as travelling clothes in Holmes' day, and Holmes and Watson had travelled to the Boscombe valley. This outfit has since been made popular by actors such as William Gillette and Basil Rathbone in Sherlock Holmes adaptations.
