Edward Mills Grace. Gloucestershire, Gentlemen & England 1862-1896. Handwritten single page folding letter on Park House, Thornbury letterhead from Grace, dated 1st May 1901, to ‘Mr Hill’. Grace writes ‘I have put you down for certain to play. We commence at one o’clock and have no lunch’. Very nicely signed ‘Edward Mills Grace’. Some foxing, otherwise in good/ very good condition.
Grace was a member of Parr’s tour to Australia and New Zealand 1863/4, the second time an English XI had visited the antipodes. His only official Test for England was in 1880. Grace made his first class debut for MCC against Kent at Canterbury in 1862, scoring 192no and taking ten wickets in an innings.
