Headed notepaper: Editorial Department, Chips, Comic Cuts, The Butterfly, Puck, The Jester, 25 Bouverie Street, Fleet Street, London EC. Signed.
‘In reply to your letter I have found that 'The Lights of Home' is extremely popular with my readers and only last week it attained a high place in a competition. Under the circumstances and considering that the paper is doing well I do not want to finish it up yet, so please continue with it until you hear from me to the contrary. In regard to 'The Little Mother' I have let one of my other authors have a shot at it because I know at present you could not tackle it on top of your other story – as you have said. We will chat over other schemes when you are next in town.’
