réf. 15605Printed by The Medici Society Ltd. London. Introductory note by Parish dated 'Christmas 1945 Bateman's Burwash Sussex.'. 8pp. landscape 12mo. Saddle-stitched into light-brown printed wraps. In good condition lightly-aged. A tasteful production with two full-page illustrations by 'T. O'B. Horsford' captioned 'Bateman's' and 'The Hall'. Introductory note by Parish inside the front cover: 'The following article was written for the Kipling Society's Journal and is here printed by courtesy of its Editor.' The piece begins: 'It was not long after our arrival in 1940 as the tenants of Bateman's that we learnt that Mr. Kipling had a sister and we wondered what manner of lady she might be little expecting ever to meet her. Judge then of our pleasure when last July five years later a letter arrived from Mr. Brooking founder of our Society saying that Mrs. Fleming whose home was in Edinburgh was on a visit to London and had expressed the wish to see Bateman's again and that he would escort her. The date was fixed for July 10th and at midday I met them at Etchingham station. Now how better can I describe this most charming little lady than by saying that she was exactly what you would wish a sister of Mr. Kipling to be.' A letter from Mrs Fleming to Parish dated from 6 West Coats Edinburgh on 17 September 1945 is printed over one and a half pages. Surprisingly scarce: no copy in the British Library or on OCLC WorldCat and the only copy traced on COPAC in the National Trust collections. Newspaper cutting of letter from Evelyn C. Johnson of Elloughton regarding 'Burne-Jones's St. Cecilia window' loosely inserted. Printed by The Medici Society Ltd., London.

1900réf. 9720London c. 1900. Second Anglo-Boer War souvenir handkerchief 45 x 45 cm printed in blue ink on fine linen a couple of trivial spots blank verso. Set in the borders of a map showing the contested regions of South Africa chiefly Orange Free State and Transvaal is the text of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'The Absent-Minded Beggar' with the music of Arthur Sullivan. The map is further adorned with portraits of Queen Victoria and Field Marshal Lord Roberts who was commander of British forces in the field between December 1899 and December 1900. It was published by the Daily Mail then a relatively new but highly successful British newspaper: established in 1896 its circulation had soared to over a million - the largest in the world - by the war's end in 1902. Kipling presented his poem to the Mail which established a charitable fund soon known as the Absent Minded Beggar Fund to provide comforts for British troops on campaign and support for their families at home. Sullivan was prevailed upon to set it to music and it was first sung in public in November 1899. It caught the public mood and was reproduced in many forms. The handkerchiefs were in circulation by March 1900. Local newspapers carry advertisements from wholesalers and retailers around the country all promising to donate a portion of the profits to the fund. Advertising in the Bradford Daily Telegraph 8 March 1900 one vendor described them as the latest novelty a work of art further suggesting that they could make a useful present everybody pleased with them. An Exeter draper excitedly advertised another delivery in the March 28 issue of the Western Echo. They seem to have sold for between twopence and threepence each. Map unknown
