David Cecil Fowler Burton. Yorkshire & Cambridge University 1907-1921. Single page letter from Burton handwritten in ink to a school boy. Dated ‘July 14th’ (year unknown but probably early 1950s), Burton asks whether the boy is a batsman or bowler, and suggests he attends his cricket school in the winter months, ‘I shall have Jack O’Connor [Essex & England 1921-1939] the England Essex cricketer with me’. Nicely signed ‘D.C.F. Burton’. Very good condition.
Cecil Burton captained Yorkshire 1919-1921, winning the County Championship in 1919.
