Dear Sir,
We will see Mr McCall[2] & tell him all you say. We are rather vexed with Ballantynes[3] as they are so very long - they it was who took the fortnight.
For the matter of the paragraph, I am indeed sorry, very sorry, indeed I do not know how to express my regret. I did not write the paragraph, but explained (& that very [p. 2] fully) to the P. M. G.[4] man, who poor fellow is new to his business & he had made an awful mess of it.
However it is all for the best perhaps as I shall get the Globe man to sit on the P M G. & will give the news on the lines you name.
I have in fact been rather worried lately with many affairs & have been working late & early.
Mr Brabazon[5] has a little amateur show in one of our smaller rooms last next week
Every th[in]g very quiet. N. E. A. C.[6] rather tame & tentative, noth[in]g much done & hardly any [drama?]
Yours vy truly
D. C. Thomson
