1923BIBLIO-51288N.p. n.d Dover first edition 1923. Edition of 60 copies or fewer. Patterned wrappers 'Indian design' 8vo. 8 leaves. From David Richard's 'Rudyard Kipling : A Bibliography': "The complementary texts are those of a letter written to Kipling by local postmaster Francis Fatt and the authors answer originally appearing in the Medicine Hat News of 22 December 1910. deprecating a suggestion that the name of Medicine Hat in the province of Alberta Canada be changed to something less colorful. This pamphlet was printed and distributed as a New Years favor and greeting by George Parker Winship then the Assistant Librarian of Harvard College." Kipling robustly concludes his advice: "What then should a city be re-christened that has sold its name - Judasville". Winship's publication was not authorized by Kipling and the work was never collected by Kipling in any edition of his works somewhat reinforcing Winship's statement in his preface: "This little tract for the times is printed in order that certain gentlemen who are known to their intimate acquaintances as Kipling fans may possess a first separate edition which some of their rivals in the engrossing game of book collecting will not be able to buy." Richards A339. Near Fine. [N.p., n.d, Dover, first edition, 1923] unknown
