Scope and content

Signed.
Allingham is agreeing to do Xmas story - 14000 words £5 10/- and will provide copy by Nov 19th. Says it will be a bit of a rush as he has quite a lot of work on. Hopes Mr. Murray won’t mind if the serial stands over for the present – ‘I take it that does not matter to you as you have 7 numbers in hand. By the way how long do you want the serial to be? I thought about 12 or 13 numbers but perhaps when I have written say 10 numbers we might wait and see if it caught on and if it did of course it could go on as long as you like. I rather fancy this story myself and think it will go [133] I think your idea for plot of Xmas story is good and will work it along those lines.’

Mr. Murray was one of the two Editors (brothers) at The Aldine Press.
