'I am very much obliged to you for your letter of the 8th and desire to inform you that your story 'Two Chums and Oldfields' has been accepted and will be published in due course. If, as you say, you could invent for me a character of which my readers would never tire, I can only reply that I would welcome you with open arms. Anyway, send me something which I may consider, and if it promises anything half so brilliant as th claim which you make I shall be only too glad to make use of it.'
