John Auger Dixon. Nottinghamshire 1882-1905. Two page letter handwritten in ink by Dixon in Nottingham to David Denton (Yorkshire & England 1894-1920) with good cricket content. Dated 2nd August 1900, Dixon has bought a bat of Denton’s and he writes ‘My first innings with your bat 177 not out has so pleased me that I cannot do less than send you another guinea. I shall still feel that I have got a good bargain. It is true I was caught at the wicket and given in [not out] and also missed 4 times but that proves it is a lucky bat- just what I wanted. I hope you will soon find another as good so that you may continue to make those lightning strokes to the boundary’. Nicely signed ‘J.A. Dixon’. The two pages laid down to slightly larger album page with uneven trimming to the left edge, otherwise in good condition.
