‘We are obliged for the offer of 'The Czar’s Chief Spy' but regret that the fact of its being a story dealing with Russian Political matters prevents us from accepting it, as we like our stories to deal with characters and events occurring in ordinary life. If at any time you have to offer a story whose scenes are laid in Great Britain and dealing with love and sensation incidents we shall be glad to hear from you.’
