An Original Hand Written Letter and Signed by Cricketer W G Grace Mentioning Playing at Lords. Dated 1880. The letter reads- My dear Morney, I shall very pleased to grant your request. I am sorry you cannot find time to come up to see us at Lords, it would do you good to meet old friends. Yours Very Truly W G Grace. Written on Gloustershire County Cricket Club letter headed paper. Currently card mounted in a display but the Letter can very easily removed. William Gilbert Grace 1848-1915 was an English amateur cricketer who was important in the development of the sport and is widely considered one of its greatest players. He was nominally amateur as a cricketer, but he is said to have made more money from his cricketing activities than any professional cricketer. He was an extremely competitive player and, although he was one of the most famous men in England, he was also one of the most controversial on account of his gamesmanship and moneymaking. Size is 185mm x 120mm. Condition is good. Letter with light folding crease.
