Brief Description
Letter, small, single page, both sides; written on 27 December 1933 to Donald Mackintosh by Rudyard Kipling (excerpt): "I'm not at all sure about coming / down for the Centenary as things / are with me now: but I want / to try for it. (I've seen, by the way) // Australian "demonstrations", when / the Australian contingents left / Capetown at the end of the Boer / War. It was very, very gay! // I'm glad you liked my souvenirs / of France. I only hope and pray / that I'm dead wrong about "the real / war". But it's thick weather. // With every good wish for the new / year to you and yours / Most sincerely / Rudyard Kipling".
