Ernest Asplan Beldam. Middlesex 1903-1907. Single page handwritten letter from Beldam from his home in Surrey, to a schoolboy ‘Mr Thom[?]’, dated 12th November 1953. Beldam is replying to a request for his autograph, and wishes the correspondent well with his school cricket. Nicely signed ‘Ernest A. Beldam’. Light fold, otherwise in very good condition.
Beldam played thirty nine first-class matches for Middlesex, London County and Gentlemen. He was a cousin of George Beldam (Middlesex 1900-1907), the pioneer of action photography of which his subjects included notable cricketers.
