ALS, one page, 4.25 x 6.5, April 27, 1894. Letter to Thomas Hutchinson, in full: “Your sonnet to hand. Yours is indeed a deadly trade—the hobby of autographing—but after you have climbed into verse in chase of your object I should be churlish to refuse to send you what you need.” Matted and framed with an engraved portrait bearing a facsimile signature. In fine condition, with light toning to edges and a small clipping of Kipling affixed to the upper left corner. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
