OK,I realize that I haven't seen that episode(the series is excellent),and that perhaps some poetic license is used in the script
writing--it may be possible that a woman wrote that(women tend to make their handwriting intentionally legible). But(unless it has been shown) there
is NO WAY in the world that Holmes could know that it was a Duofold.
