Headed notepaper: The Amalgamated Press, The Fleetway House, Farringdon Street, London EC4. Signed.
'Mrs Cooper has asked me to write to you and sau that she likes your 10th instalment of THE WIFE OF A WANTED MAN very much indeed. But she would like the instalment carried a little farther. She feels the 'curtain' leaves the readers just a bit up in the air - that they are likely to be dissatisfied at the story being cut off in the middle of a development.
Perhaps it could be shown that, in view of the evidence he gets hold of, Jack does not commit suicide... but then comes the news that Madge and Lord Swayne have married. This may not fit in with your ideas of future development but could we have very soon, please, even 500 words carrying the story to some more definititive point?
Mrs Cooper sends her kind regards to you.'
