Alfred Shaw. Nottinghamshire, Sussex & England 1864-1897. Rare and early single page handwritten letter with good cricket content from Shaw to an unknown correspondent in Nottingham, dated 27th April 1889. Writing from the Star & Garter Hotel, Brighton, on ‘in memoriam’ style paper with black borders, Shaw is replying to a request for information about players. ‘As I was not out in Australia with the last team I cannot give you any notes but Mr Shrewsbury was... I am engaged here [Sheffield Park, Sussex] with Earl of Sheffield so will not see Sherwin[?] or Flowers for a long time’. Very nicely signed ‘Alfred Shaw’. Very good condition.
