Headed notepaper: The Penny Magazine, La Belle Sauvage, Ludgate Hill, EC, London. Signed.
Dictatated. ‘Thanks for sending the story, With reference to what you say about being doubtful if stories will suit, the only fault I have to find is that they are inclined to be a little too sensational, but otherwise are admirable. This is what I meant about your ‘”Martha” story. This you can doubtless remedy however. I like mystery stories without too much “murder”.’

Dictated. 'We can use both the stories you sent in the Penny Magazine, and I should be glad of some more. I think the story 'The Man who murdered Martha' is very typical of what I want, with perhaps a little less tragedy. I am having cheques for two stories put through for you next pay day.'

replying re: collaboration in a play. Wants to produce 'a serious Comedy of modern life' but is afraid that Allingham's 'forte would be melodrama'. Offering outlines for short stories with hopes of 'a modest share of the fees'.

'I have read 'Carried By [?]. It is hardly strong enough for PM, and seems a little drawn out, but if you don’t object to a little blue pencil in parts I can use it. I can use your “Martha” yarn if you can tone it down considerably. Glad to hear you are having a shot at the new mag. Shall be glad to have MS at your earliest.’

'I have read this story very carfeully and rather like it. I agree with you that it would illustrate well, and I think the whole tale is very well done. For the purposes of the London Magazine, however, it is somewhat too long. I have made a strong stand against accepting stories of more than 4000 words in length. If you think you can reduce it to about that length without injuring it, I shall be pleased to use it. At the present time it seems to me to be nearly 6000 words. Your are aware, I suppose, that you are using one of Robert Lousi Stevenson's titles, and I do not think this is advisable if you can possibly suggest another.'
