Additional printed presentation plate to front pastedown: "King Albert's Book, with Sir Francis Trippel's Best Wishes for a Happy Xmas, a Speedy Recovery and a Victorious New Year, Xmas 1914". 188pp. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with marking and darkening to the boards. The contents with toning to the endpapers, scattered foxing, and creasing to the corners of some of the tipped-in plates, are otherwise in very good order. Inscribed in black ink to the front free endpaper: "S. Lawes. 1st Royal Berkshire. / December 25th - IH. / 4th London Genera Hospital / Denmark Hill. / Presented by His Majesty King George V" (not in the King's hand).

Manuscrito
3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, with one central vertical fold, and patch of small holes at head of second leaf. Interesting letterhead, with image of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Someone (probably Mrs Kipling) has written 'orchid' on the first page. The letter begins: 'Mr dear Mrs. Kipling, | I sent you a few flowers today by post, also (by rail to Etchingham) a Cypripedium Insigne, a Blush Rambler & a Lady Gay rose. The Cyp: Insig: is very fairly hardy but I should not stand it in too violent a draught. When it goes off flower any ordinary glass house will do for it but it wants a good deal of water in the growing season & some all the year round'. He gives further information , also asking her to 'please write for further instructions'. He adds, 'I had one once with 50 blooms & there are several out now with a score & more.' He states that the other two named flowers are 'cuttings which I struck last year'. He ends by thanking her for 'all your kindness to me'. Haggard's entry in the Oxford DNB describes how he 'tended his gardens and his farms', becoming an 'agricultural authority and expert on rural affairs'. Four years before the writing of this letter he had published 'A Gardener's Year', sequel to his 'Farmer's Year' (1899). According to Mrs Kipling's diaries, at the time of writing she only left Etchingham for 'the normal fleeting trips to town and Tisbury'.
