Kipling
wrote this note on Hotel Windsor stationary which has been trimmed
to 4 1/4"x 4 1/2".
Kipling's
holograph message reads:
"Dear Sir: / I am extremely obliged to you for
your very handsome & acceptable gift of illustrated volumes
on Canada, which I shall keep as a momento of a very pleasant visit /
Sincerely / Rudyard Kipling".
Something (probably the date) has been lost by trimming
off the bottom of the letter.
The letter has been pasted to a sheet of paper that can be folded
to make it into a booklet. A list of some of Kipling's works has
been pasted to the letter and his photo and name pasted to the right
side of the sheet.
The
letter itself is in very good condition but the fragile sheet to
which it and Kipling's picture are pasted onto has many edge nicks
and the fold has been reinforced with scotch tape on the reverse
side.
Price:
$375
