Scope and content
Headed notepaper: Yes or Not - One Penny Weekly, 11 Gough Square, Fleet Street, London. Signed.
'I am obliged to return you the tenth instalment of 'The Czar's Chief Spy' as I think it would be greatly improved if you 'worked up' the scene with the Czar considerably. We hear so much in these days of his terror, of his changing words, of the precautions taken for his safety, of the hunted life he lives in his splendid surroundings, that I am sure you have lost a grand opportunity. On second thoughts I have no doubt you will see it as I do.'
