[Returns a manuscript to Hood which, though funny, cannot be used in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly ; encourages writer to try a short entertaining story with a dramatic interest.]
[Accepts a very successful story for publication; apologizes for the delay in making a decision and the delay in regard to payment.]
[Sends a check for $25, payment for story, " Also Ran . "]
[Returns manuscript of short story as the morality of the story is too conventional for their magazine; hopes that Hood's next try will be of a more humorous nature.]
