Scope and content
Headed notepaper: Editorial Department, Chips, Comic Cuts, The Butterfly, 2 Carmelite House, Carmelite Street, London EC. Signed.
‘I want you to close up ‘Comrades True’ in the next instalment as we have a new serial to produce that we cannot delay, and we wish to try your three chums in Puck in a series of complete stories of three thousand words per week. The Puck stories should be refined and the reverse of slangy. Also no mention of strong drink or pubs; more like the old Boy’s Own Paper type of adventure yarns.’
MS corrections.
