Mercury, Hamble, Southampton’ letterhead, and dated 4th November 1935. Fry writes, ‘May I be allowed to say- or submit- that this of yours strikes me as just exactly what exceedingly needed to be emphasized. I’ve been seeking the 6oz “samples of tea” from all over the United Kingdom & also innumerable ordinary grown ups[?] for the last 27 years. Just look how most of them walk!’ Signed ‘Yours truly, C.B. Fry’. In a postscript Fry writes, ‘One reason why games were so poorly played as to style is that the players move incorrectly & have no balance & poise’. Light folds and minor wear with small repair, otherwise in good condition.
