Edward Stratton Holloway Esq:
Dear Sir
In reply to yours of the 24th instant I am sorry to say that I can not give you much information about the first editions of my little books. *Departmental Ditties I know is practically unattainable in its original form. Plain Tales was quoted somewhere at a fancy price and the form of the Indian Railway Library books was against their standing wear for more than a month or two.
Thacker Sheri K in Calcutta might help you to a first Plain Tales and A.H. Wheeler & Co. Allahabad, N.W. P. India, might say where the railway books could be got: but I fancy both cases are very doubtful.
I am rather an enthusiast on head and tail pieces and love to see a well made up book for half of [p. 2] our first impressions come from a books outside. Therefore I have to thank you much for the dainty little volume you have so kindly sent me.
One of these days an American will come along and write a novel of the colonial period (rich and fascinating it is) which will take people captive. There must be mines of golden material in those years.
Very sincerely yours
Rudyard Kipling
