Arthur Mailey, New South Wales & Australia 1912-1930. Single page handwritten letter in ink from Mailey written on Hotel Metropole, Swansea headed note paper. Dated ‘Aug 3 1930’, the letter was written during the course of the tour match against Glamorgan, prior to the forthcoming 5th Test. Addressed to a ‘Mr. Wolfe’ (possibly E.G. Wolfe, brother in law of Sir Julien Cahn), Mailey says ‘I have forwarded your letter [requesting Test match tickets] to Mr Kelly [Australian tour manager] who has promised to do all he can for you. There is a great demand for tickets but I’m sure if any are available Mr Kelly will certainly help you’. Very nicely signed ‘Arthur Mailey’. Horizontal folds with slight splitting to folds and odd nicks to edges, otherwise in very good condition.
