RUDYARD KIPLING (1865-1936)
Autograph letter signed ("Rudyard Kipling") to Mrs. Williams, 2 pages, 8°, Station Hotel, Dornoch, 17 September 1921.
An amusing letter in which Kipling describes his visit to the Highlands. "I am truly sorry to say that the Skerin is simply stuffed with salmon. We were watching them yesterday as they tried to get up the Falls and none of them seemed less than twenty pounders. I am going to say (when I get home again) that I caught three.
"This place is inhabited by gentle maniacs in Knickerbockers who play golf as long as the light lasts and talk about it all evening. The women are as bad as the men; they do it for the sake of their figures; but it only makes them lop-sided ..."
