<p><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:windowtext'>RUDYARD KIPLING </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial; color:windowtext'>(1865-1936). English writer and Nobel laureate whose novels, short stories and poems were mostly set in British India and Burma where he was a proponent of English imperialism. TLS, 1p, 8vo, Burwash, Sussex, Dec 2, 1927. On address letterhead marked “<i>Private</i>” to Mr. Arkell. Kipling writes somewhat testily, “<i>Has it struck you that, if I once began on the lines you suggest, I should not have much time to do anything else —besides having to explain myself to people whom I’ve refused in the past? Here’s always good-luck to you and the likes of you in your adventures—but—let’s not take the public into our confidence.</i>..” Boldly signed. Fine example.</span></p>
