Herbert Sutcliffe. Yorkshire & England 1919-1945. Two single page typed letters on ‘Herbert Sutcliffe Limited’ business letterhead from Sutcliffe to T.W. James Savage. In the first, dated 4th November 1964, Sutcliffe is replying to a request to read an 11pp typescript of an unpublished short biography of Sutcliffe by Savage titled ‘Playing for Yorkshire’. Sutcliffe congratulates the author ‘on a very fine effort’. In a follow-up letter dated 6th July 1965 Sutcliffe states he is unable to find a publisher ‘who is prepared to take the risk’. Both letters very nicely signed in ink by Sutcliffe. Included are two original copies of the typescript. Good/ very good condition.
