Nobel Prize–winning British author (1865–1936) best known for such colorful classics as Just So Stories, Captains Courageous, and The Jungle Book. ALS, one page, 5 x 8, December 28, 1892. Letter to [Edward James] Glave. In full: “I don't know how it is with you, but Christmas in these remote regions blocks and demoralizes the mail. Here however really do come your ballads - may you enjoy 'em The fool of a postmaster has just managed to lose all my razors in the mail and I'm not enjoying myself in consequence. Here's a good adventurous New Year to you - one full of everything stirring and profitable. Can you get that boat song written out I'm your debtor for long if you can.” In very good condition, with several horizontal folds, some reinforced on the reverse, uniform toning, small tear to top edge, and a bit of scattered light soiling. Kipling and his American-born wife, nee Caroline Balestier, were then in the first months of a four-year stay in Vermont at the estate of his wife's family. It was during this period that he wrote some of his best-known works, including Captains Courageous and the two Jungle Books.
