'Very sorry I mised you to-day. Why didn't you let me know you were going to call? Davidson was in London last week and asking about you; but perhaps you saw him after he called here. He feels your desertion of Dundee very much; doesn’t think they deserve it. I told them we would do our best to bring the straying sheep back to the fold. No, it is not going to be a case of leading a lamb to the slaughter. Now get busy on that story you started for Harvey, like the good chap you are and let us have you writing regularly again for Leng’s.
Meanwhile, as requested we shall send you by parcel post all your reprints, and hope to hear in due course that you have sold some of them to the Amalgamated Press.’
