Scope and content
Thinks two of the stories are really good. The "Little Star" is most amusing. If she had written them she should go over them again, polishing, improving and shortening. Suggests an example. Gives him some more advice. Does not like "The Pleasure Garden". He always manages to succeed with his photographs. Advises him not to give up the pencil for the pen. "Anyone can write. Hardly anyone can draw".
