Scope and content

Headed notepaper: The Aldine Publishing Coy. Ltd., 1, 2 & 3 Crown Court, Chancery Lane, London WC. Signed.
'Many thanks for your letter of yesterday's date, regarding the stories 'The Duffer's Last Case' and 'Frolicsome Five'. It is our wish to deal perfectly fairlywith you in this matter, but, naturally, we do not desire to purchase stories now for a paper which has already ceased to exist. The fact that the copy of the former story was delivered to late for publication in that Series, seems to suggest that there is here ground for a compromise, and our suggestion is that the stories should remain at your disposal for publication elsewhere, while we indemnify you for the trouble taken on our behalf. I am sure that you are as ready as we are to treat the question in a reasonable spirit, and hope that you will give me a call on some convenient day, when we can go fully into details.'
