Nobody who has travelled even up and down the line from the colony to Pretoria can fail to see the enormous amount of work that there is to be done and of course away from the line that work is even more urgent." 1 side A4 Bateman's Burwash 6th June The recipient is the Irish poet architectural writer and artist Alys Fane TROTTER née Keatinge 1863-1961 whose husband Alexander Pelham TROTTER 1857-1947 was a major force in electrical engineering in the Cape Colony in southern Africa. For Kipling's friendship with the Trotters from his time at the Cape see Thomas Pinney ed. The Letters of Rudyard Kipling 1990 volume 4 page 393. There is an article about Kipling's involvement with the Trotters by Tanya Barben which includes the paragraph "The Kiplings were quickly absorbed into Cape Town's social scene often through Rhodes's contacts. Alys Fane-Trotter the doyenne of writers about Cape architecture at the time recalled that the 'Kiplings were charming to us and Rudyard would spend the afternoon sitting on our very humble stoep drawing wonderful pictures for the children and telling us first drafts of stories he expected to write". This may be the only surviving letter to Alys. unknown

Martindell 61; Sutherland Victorian Fiction p. 104. One of the great nineteenth-century English adventure novels Captains Courageous follows the adventures of fifteen-year-old Harvey Cheyne Jr. the spoiled son of a railroad tycoon after he is saved from drowning by a Portuguese fisherman off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. After being tossed overboard an ocean liner Harvey meets Disko Troop captain of the small fishing boat We're Here who refuses to take the young man back to port but agrees to take him on as part of the crew. Over the course of the novel Harvey befriends the captain's son Dan who helps the arrogant millionaire develop into a hard-working honest young man who is self-reliant and content with living simply. The novel originally appeared as a serialization in McClure's between November 1896 and May 1897. In 1900 Teddy Roosevelt extolled the book in his essay "What We Can Expect of the American Boy" praising Kipling for describing "in the liveliest way just what a boy should be and do". "The work has always been popular in the USA and various versions have been filmed." Sutherland p. 104. The English journalist novelist poet and short-story writer Joseph Rudyard Kipling 1865 - 1936 was born in British India which inspired much of his work. Captains Courageous was written in a particularly prolific period of Kipling's career when he lived in Vermont with his young family. There he produced a profusion of poetry as well as The Jungle Book. MacMillan & Co unknown
