Scope and content
Headed notepaper: Editorial Department, Chips, Comic Cuts, The Butterfly, Puck, The Jester, 25 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, London EC. Signed.
‘Owing to the large amount of advertisements that will appear in The Butterfly for the next month, I shall have much difficulty in squeezing in all the features into the small amount of space.Will you therefore make your Polly Perkins not more that 2,000 words in length and Driven from Home 3,000 words. I am very sorry indeed to have to ask you to cut your stories down, but you will easily understand that as I have only three pages left for copy it is difficult to have space sufficient to take two serials and two series. One whole page is devoted to advertisements.’
