Gilbert Laird Jessop. Gloucestershire, Cambridge University, London County & England 1894-1914. Nice single page handwritten letter dated ‘Sept 4’ (year unknown, possibly 1930s), to ‘Dear Dr. Hunter’ with interesting cricket content. Jessop is arranging to meet for tea and ‘we can then settle the World’s Cricket affairs between us’. He continues by stating ‘Anything about Don Bradman bores me- a wonderful run getter but I don’t like him as a cricketer’. Nicely signed ‘Gilbert L. Jessop’. Very good condition.
Dr. Hunter may refer to T.R. Hunter who was a founder member of the Cricketana Society, publishing journals from around 1933.
