I found this book review of Arthur Conan Doyle: A Life in Letters after a tip-off from a work colleague. It is a compilation of just some of the over 1,000 letters that Conan Doyle wrote between 1867 and 1920.
All of them were to his mother.

Most of the letters in the book were written to his mother about what was happening in his life and work over a 54-year period, but there are also letters to his father, his brother, several of his sisters, a numberl of his educational, medical, and literary mentors, his editor at The Strand Magazine, friends of his, his son, some political figures, several women he considered "second mothers," allies and opponents in the debate over spiritualism, and others. -- Jon Lellenberg (co-editor of the book)
Ach, Jon, that's very disappointing.
