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 like the opening instalment of your story 'The Woman Pays' and we shall be glad if you will proceed with it for us, and let us have the second instalment as soon as possible.
We should very much like to know what is in your mind as to the future, especially the future of Madge. As you know we do not like anything objectionable in the slightest way, and we are specially anxious to avoid anything that would throw Madge into the power of a man and give rise to anything coarse or suggestive. I mention the matter because of your title, but, at the same time I know your desire is to give us exactly the kind of story we like.
I wrote to you yesterday with regard to the opening of 'The Mystery Man', and if you can now keep these two stories moving, we shall be very much obliged.'
