Headed notepaper: Editorial Department, Puck - A Humorous Journal, 2 Carmelite House, Carmelite Street, London. Signed.
‘In reply to yours of the 10th I always consider and return, or use, short stories sent to Puck promptly. For obvious reasons you cannot bring your stuff into us “in the morning and get cash for it in the evening” as we go to press a month in advance. As far as Puck is concerned your way seems pretty clear. We pay on publication, and if you keep up your present standard there is nor reason why you should not become one of our regular contributors of short stories. Send in some stuffregularly every week and what I cannot use I will return promptly so you can try it elsewhere. pp The Editor, H Havant Chief Sub.
