'You will remember we discussed a new story for 'Family Journal' centred round a character like Madge, who appeared in another serial of yours. When do you think you can let me have the first instalment? It ought to go to the works in three weeks. Cora Royle will be finishing very soon now. I have just received the twenty-fourth instalment and it finishes in instalment twenty-seven. I hope you will be able to let me have the new first instalment soon as I think it ought to be a very good story. I am very interested in Cora Royle at the present moment: the way you are working things out is veyr clever - very clever indeed.'

'We have been expecting to get the 3rd instalment of your story, but so far it has not come to hand. As Mr Davidson is anxious to get ahead with it, I shall be very glad if you can deliver it by an early post.'

‘Thanks for your p.c. of a day or two back - will send you something as soon as I can. At present I am full up with serial work but hope to get this off my hands in a few weeks time. By the way may I make a suggestion? Why doesn’t your firm pay more promptly? There are scores of men like myself knocking about Fleet Street - Here am I with quite a gift for popular fiction and yet I have to stick to journalism for my bread and butter simply because journalism means ready money – Although I only do fiction 2 days a week I have at the present moment over £50 worth of stuff out – all accepted but not published and therefore not paid for. One of your paper has had a story of mine 11 months, another has had one 5 months. Is it surprising that we are driven to the cheaper houses where you deliver your copy in the morning and call for the money in the afternoon?'

‘The story 'The Name on her Marriage Lines' does not seem to have taken the proper twist yet. Can you introduce another character, as at the moment it is simply a question of Phil and Ruby believing, somewhat foolishly, in Jacob Arche’s promises; only to be let down in every instalment.
In most of your stories you introduce new characters, to some tune, in each instalment and that makes for tense interest. Will you see what you can do in the next instalment?
We have had so little trouble with stories and just the right turn now, in this serial, will put us right for the rest of the tale.’

'I propose to use your story 'In The Grip of Fate' (I have the manuscript here, and also the issues of 'The Happy Home in which it appeared).
It appeared in 'The Happy Home' under the title of 'A Mother At Bay'. Will you let me know by return if it is alright for me to use this story?'

‘I am in need of a new serial for my January booms. What about the idea we talked over? Possibly you have forgotten it by now, but I do hope you are going to do it for me. If you have forgotten the idea can you spare a little time to talk it over again.’
