'Thank you for writing so promptly about Convict 98. I do not think your suggestion about someone else re-writing it would do because it is your writing that I want in the story.
If you could let me have the first instalment re-written, by August 15th, this would do. Would that be of any help to you?
I am so very anxious for you to do it yourself and there would not be so very much re-writing in it – not nearly so much as the one you are doing just now for FAMILY JOURNAL because there, you are reducing over seventy instalments to twenty-five, and there would be nothing like this in the Convict 98 one, which could run to the length at which it at present stands.
If you feel, however, you could not manage it, you will of course say so and, while I shall be exceedingly sorry, I shall understand.'
