A year later, a maid witnesses the violent murder of Sir Danvers Carew by Hyde. Utterson takes the police to Hyde's home in Soho where they find the murder weapon. Hyde is nowhere to be found.
Utterson goes to see Jekyll, who looks very ill.
Jekyll claims that he'll never see Hyde again and shows Utterson a letter from Hyde which backs this up.
However, Utterson is concerned when Poole tells him that no letters had been delivered to the house that morning.
Later, Utterson shows Guest the letter, who points out the similarity between the handwriting of Jekyll and Hyde.
