Andrew Sandham, Surrey & England 1911-1937. Two page letter handwritten in ink from Sandham. Written on ‘Sandham, Strudwick & Brooke’ official letterhead, dated 3rd July 1934, Sandham is replying to a request for autographs, ‘I don’t make a habit of doing this, but I’ve a very soft corner in my heart for Cape Town’. He thanks the correspondent for the suggestion that he should play against the Australians ‘but my Test days are finished’, but goes on to say ‘Curiously enough I have just played an innings of 219 against them for Surrey & I am feeling very pleased with myself’. Nicely signed ‘A. Sandham’. Light folds, otherwise in good condition.
