'We like the opening instalment of your story 'The Woman Pays' and we shall be glad if you will proceed with it for us, and let us have the second instalment as soon as possible.
We should very much like to know what is in your mind as to the future, especially the future of Madge. As you know we do not like anything objectionable in the slightest way, and we are specially anxious to avoid anything that would throw Madge into the power of a man and give rise to anything coarse or suggestive. I mention the matter because of your title, but, at the same time I know your desire is to give us exactly the kind of story we like.
I wrote to you yesterday with regard to the opening of 'The Mystery Man', and if you can now keep these two stories moving, we shall be very much obliged.'

'Enclosed please find copy of a letter we have received from Mr Harvey to-day, and the draft agreement referred to in same. With regard to Clause 5 of the Agreement, nothing has been said about Book rights in the negotiations so far, but we quite see their object in introducing this condition and it is not unreasonable. They want to protect themselves against possible competition in the shape of cheap books, which might seriously affect the value of the stories for second or third serial use. We shall be glad to have your views on this and any other points in the Agreement.'

Copy letter from William Harvey to Cotterill & Cromb
ALL/11/194 · Item · 09-Jan-19
Part of Herbert Allingham
Copy of letter dated January 9, 1919 from Mr William Harvy, John Leng & Co. Ltd., Dundee, received by Cotterill & Cromb, January 10, 1919.
'Dear Mr Cotterill, I am favoured with yours of yesterday's date, with reference to Mr Allingham's story 'The Marriage Vow'.
Seeing this story was begun, as Mr Allingham says, before the new arrangement came into operation, we are quite willing that it should be left out of the new scheme. We do not, however, like his suggestion that this story should be finished in what he calls 'odd times'. We think teh best way will be for him to push ahead with this storay, independent of his 8,000 words per week, so that we may have an opportunity of using it at an early date. On the completion of the story, the point might again be raised as to whether we should pay an extra twenty-one shillings per thousand, and get the first, second and third rights.'
