Harold Larwood. Nottinghamshire, Europeans & England 1924-1938. Single page handwritten letter in ink on ruled paper from Larwood to John Webber, Manager of the Sports Department at Harrods. The letter is undated but probably 1927. Larwood is replying to an invitation of employment for promotional work at Harrods saying ‘I have today received a reply from the Committee of the “Notts CCC” and they are willing to release [me] on the dates arranged’ and closes by enquiring ‘shall I require my cricket outfit’. Nicely signed ‘H Larwood’. Horizontal and vertical folds, some wear to edges and light adhesive marks to verso, otherwise in 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.
