1943122437Cambridge Massachusetts: Houghton Library 1943.

One of only seventy-five numbered copies this is number 32. In fine condition. Rare. Kipling's son John was about three years old when this letter was written. Despite his son's short-sightedness Kipling sought to get him an army commission when the First World War broke out in August 1914. John was killed in the Battle of Loos causing his family immense grief and placing a great strain on the marriage as Kipling's wife had strongly opposed his enlisting. Later Kipling wrote of him "I had a boy who came near writing stories about Kangaroos and Queensland pearl-fishers. But another call came and Johnny went to France where the stars are still shining although Johnny's drum has ceased to beat." Houghton Library unknown books
