Scope and content
Headed notepaper: Editor Robert Barr, The Idler, 33 Henrietta Street, Strand, London WC. Signed.
'With regard to yours of March 15th, you are entirely mistaken in supposing that I wish even to hint that you have plagarised my story 'Gentlemen! The King!' I assure you I had no such thought. The two yarns were merely somewhat similar in idea. I see that 'Gentlemen! The King!' is out in the current Novel Magazine. Please send me one of your published stories if you have one by you.'
