The Dates in The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sherlock Holmes: Trifles

"Have you the dates of those letters?" [HOUN]

The Hound of the Baskervilles is one of Sherlock Holmes's most famous cases. But what can we say about the date of the case? Watson never specifically mentions a date, but many chronologists fix it in October 1889. How did they come to that conclusion? And what else do we know about Holmes and Watson that make such a date worthy of questioning? It's just a Trifle.
