Henry ‘Harry’ Moses. New South Wales & Australia 1881-1895. Short single page handwritten undated letter in ink from Moses replying to a request for signed photographs of himself, ‘which I am returning by this mail’. He continues ‘I scarcely knew it as it must have been taken fifty years ago, when I was playing cricket. I was known as Harry’. Nicely signed ‘Henry Moses’. The page trimmed and laid down. Very good condition. A rare letter from Moses.
Moses played his first Test against England in Sydney in 1886/87, top scoring in both innings for Australia. Business prevented him touring England, but he played in every home Test until a leg injury sustained in the first match of the 1891/92 series forced him out of the side. His top score in first class cricket was for New South Wales v England in 1887/88, a monumental score of 297no.
