Michael Joseph ‘Roger’ Hartigan. New South Wales, Queensland & Australia 1903-1921. Single page typed letter from Hartigan to Hugh Trumble (Victoria & Australia 1887-1904) on the official letterhead of ‘The Queensland Primary Producers Co-operative Agency Ltd.’. Dated 1st November 1924. Hartigan is asking Trumble for a copy of the Melbourne Club Annual Report, and enquires whether temporary membership can be arranged at Melbourne and Sydney for friends to attend Test matches. Very nicely signed in ink ‘Roger Hartigan’. Attached is an unsigned typed copy reply from Trumble dated 10th November 10924, saying he is ‘glad to reciprocate’. Light folds and creasing to corners, otherwise in good condition.
Hartigan made two Test appearances for Australia in 1907/08 and was a member of the touring party to England in 1909 but was not selected for the Test matches.
