'I am very much obliged to you for your letter of 10th inst., and desire to inform you that the idea of Tit-Bits free day arose out of some successful days on the same lines at the Manchester White City and the New Brighton Tower. I am certain that the idea was not taken from 'John Bull', but was developed in the manner indicated. The idea of publishing the Prize Tit-Bits in book form has been suggested to us scores of times and I am afraid that the idea has occurred to you as well as to many others. Many thanks, however, for bringing the matters under my notice.'
