Earl of Dalkeith, 7th Duke of Buccleuch. Single page handwritten letter to ‘[Teddy?] Wynyard, dated ‘8 June 31[?]’. Dalkeith writes to say that due to his workload and parliamentary duties he ‘cannot play in either of your matches. I rang up Lucas and he is very glad to play’. Nicely signed ‘Dalkeith’. Good/ very good condition.
The Earl of Dalkeith served as President of the M.C.C. in 1913. The matches to which Dalkeith refers cannot be established. He died in 1935.
