Copy of letter dated January 9, 1919 from Mr William Harvy, John Leng & Co. Ltd., Dundee, received by Cotterill & Cromb, January 10, 1919.
'Dear Mr Cotterill, I am favoured with yours of yesterday's date, with reference to Mr Allingham's story 'The Marriage Vow'.
Seeing this story was begun, as Mr Allingham says, before the new arrangement came into operation, we are quite willing that it should be left out of the new scheme. We do not, however, like his suggestion that this story should be finished in what he calls 'odd times'. We think teh best way will be for him to push ahead with this storay, independent of his 8,000 words per week, so that we may have an opportunity of using it at an early date. On the completion of the story, the point might again be raised as to whether we should pay an extra twenty-one shillings per thousand, and get the first, second and third rights.'
