Allan Gibson Steel. Lancashire, Cambridge University & England 1877-1893. Two page handwritten folded letter in ink dated London, 4th July 1906. Writing ‘To the Editor of Punch [Magazine]’ Steel states ‘May I as an old cricketer, who in days gone by, have played for Gents & Players & also for England, congratulate you on the excellently humorous lines in this week’s Punch entitled ‘Lines on Tomkins’ average’. I do not think I ever remember any satire so exquisitely comic, & withall so true. It has given me and many other cricketers a hearty laugh’. Nicely signed ‘Allan Steel’. Horizontal fold, some wear and soiling, otherwise in good condition. A nice letter.
