‘My wife tells me you don’t care for the “Fag” - Before deciding will you try it on one or two of the youngsters – office boys for choice? I wrote the story when I was a boy myself and I think it has the boy’s point of view – They take themselves very seriously and what seems pompous and priggish to us seems all right to them. Charlie Brown – no bad judge of what the youngsters want - offered me £25 for the story a year or so after it appeared.
I have an idea for a new serial more in the Duffer vein which I should like to submit to you later. The title I have in my mind is 'Max teh Magnificent'.'
