'Herewith I am returning to you the synopsis and first instalment of a school story entitled 'Max, The Magnificent'. I regret that my opinion concerning this story, although it is fairly favourable, does not warrant me in commissioning you to do it. My reasons for this are, first; that the story although fairly good, is not strong enough; secondly, that I have a very large amount of school story matter on hand so that I should not be justified in asking you to go on with this one.'
