Herbert ‘Bert’ Strudwick. Surrey & England 1902-1927. Single page handwritten folding letter in ink from Strudwick in London to John Webber, Manager of the Sports Department at Harrods, dated 22nd March 1927. Strudwick is replying to an invitation of employment for promotional work at Harrods, ‘I called at the Oval this morning to obtain leave, but found Mr. R.N.C. Palairet [Secretary, Surrey C.C.C.] away until Monday next... I will write to you as soon as I hear from him’. Very nicely signed ‘H. Strudwick’. Light fold, very good condition.
This lot is one of a run of four letters from cricketers replying to invitations to promote cricket goods and equipment at Harrods in 1926 and 1927.
