'Our usual custom is to pay on publication or more often a month in advance, but in order to meet the wishes of contributors I have so frequently gone from this rule that in the last week I discovered that I had paid for an amount of stock far in excess of my allowance. This is rather unfortunate as it renders it necessary for me to refrain for some time from paying in advance any contribution. As soon as possible, however, I shall endeavour to secure payment for your story as that, if I am not mistaken, is essentially a winter story and is not like to be used during the sumer so that it will be too long to expect you to wait until next winter for payment. I regret this very much, but your request has come at a very unfortunate time and all I can promise is to do my best within a month from date. If you do not hear from me again within the next four weeks please write and I shall then endeavour to settle the matter at once.'
