Mr Macdonald has written me that Trix would like to have the painted fire screen from the dining room at The Gables Kipling's parents' home. I sent the . entrée dishes . to be put with her other things & I sent at the same time an 'Outward Bound' edition which you said you thought she would like to have." SIGNED in full.
