Dear Philip
It really appears a letter in the 6th volume (to the Reverend Aubrey
Neville St. John Mildmay, 22 June 1935); please see the reference:

Hope it helps.
With my regards,

PH> War” for the New Readers Guide.
PH> Carrington’s biography says: “His ‘Epitaphs of the War’,
PH> ‘naked cribs of the Greek anthology’ he called them, include much
PH> comment.”
PH> (page 548 of the Pelican paperback edition.) But Carrington
PH> does not give a source for this direct quote from Kipling.
PH> Do any of you knowledgeable people know where it comes from?
PH> Perhaps a letter? (i do not have access to Pinney.)
