‘I have read your instalment of 'Ruby Wray' and think it is strengthened considerably by the alteration. I also think that you will be able to carry on the story in such a manner as to make it interesting to the reader. I don’t for a moment suggest that you should introduce any ‘sensational’ incidents into the story. At the same time as suggested by your sub-heading a little pathos in every instalment would hold the readers attention I think.’
