John Major, Prime Minister, visit to Edgbaston 1994. Four typed letters relating to John Major visiting Edgbaston. The first, dated 8th March 1994 is a copy letter from M.J.K. Smith, Chairman of Warwickshire C.C.C., inviting the Prime Minister to attend two one day international matches at Edgbaston, v New Zealand on 19th May and v South Africa on 25th August. An official reply dated 29th March from Major’s Private Secretary at Downing Street states he will be able to attend the August fixture. Two further letters on Downing Street letterhead are from John Major, dated 29th August 1994, one to ‘Dear Mike [Smith]’, the other to Dennis Amiss, thanking them both for their hospitality. Both signed in ink, ‘Yours ever, John’. Very good condition.
