Catalogue for the auction of
Cricket, Football & Sporting Memorabilia

Pelham Francis ‘Plum’ Warner. Middlesex, Oxford University & England 1894-1920. Plain postcard from Warner to the collector, Joe Goldman, dated 19th December 1956. In a very poignant message, Warner begs forgiveness for sending ‘a postcard but writing tires me’ and thanks Goldman for ‘your interest & most original present’. He recollects his early playing days ‘3 generations ago, including [playing against] E.M. Grace. I began in 1894 in first-class cricket- very little that year- so I am very much a veteran!’. He praises Goldman’s collection and complains of having been ‘very ill, & am now a very feeble old gentleman of 83’. Nicely signed ‘P.F. Warner’. Some age toning, adhesive marks to the address side of the postcard, otherwise in good condition.
