Scope and content
Headed notepaper: Dundee Advertiser, Evening Telegraph and Post, The Happy Home, People's Journal, People's Friend, My Weekly, John Leng & Co. Ltd., 7 Bank Street, Dundee. Signed.
‘We have no rule on the matter, but we would certainly prefer that no story were filmed until we first had used it and as you indicate that you can easily devote some other stories to this purpose I hope you will see your way to do so.
I expect to be able to write to you very soon making a proposal with regard to 'London' and I shall have the other story 'The Fascinating Miss Forrest' considered, on an early date. One point against it is that it has so recently appeared in a rival magazine, but we can go into that matter should the story be found suitable.
No 6 of 'A Mother At Bay' is approved and I shall be glad to have No. 7 at your earliest convenience. I note with pleasure that you hope to submit a new first number shortly.'
