Letter from Jimmy-the-Gum to his big brother Barney-the-Smasher.
[Dundee] : Poets' Box, 182 Overgate, Dundee,
[1880-1900?]
Dated from examination of text and style.
First lines read: Royal House Distillery, / Eliventeenth of Cawnpore, / Dear Barney, - I am writing these few lines on the top of an old Indian drum, with neather top, bottom, nor sides to it. We landed here when we got on shore. Our first battle was at Never-sa-dhi. There was many thousands killed but I am happy to state there were no lives lost.
