NOTE: The letterpress is signed at the end: D.M. i.e. Donald Macdonald, Victorian journalist and writer.

Kipling's trip to Lorne took place some time between November 20 and 30, 1891. He spent a day and a night in the town and voiced his impressions of the scenery, ferns and hot-wood clematis in verse. Dr. Nicholls satisfied himself that the book Macdonald gave to Kipling was the above "Pen and Ink Sketches at Lorne".…
