My dear Mr.s. [sic] Riggs:
It didn’t come by “the next post” nor yet the next after that but it has come in a most sumptuous get-up and I thank you heartily for it. Tom o’ the Blueberry Plains is an old friend of mine: the others I think are new to me and best of them I like the “Fore-room rug” which goes to the heart, but why overwhelm one with inscriptions? I cant write one to match yourn anyway: the gift is not in me. I believe Polly Olver’s problem to be your best—because I liked that even more than a Cathedral Courtship: it seemed sweeter and fresher (in the English sense of the word) than anything I’d come across in a long day—as I believe I told you at the time. However, I have done my little best overleaf. There aint no charge: we being of the profesh. I do hope and pray that with your sales you have a good sound business eye overlooking the contracts.
Ever sincerely yours
Rudyard Kipling. | |
