Cecil Donovan 'Cec' Dixon. Transvaal & South Africa 1912-1925. Two page handwritten letter in ink to a Mr. Malyon. The letter is dated 11th February 1947, shortly before the South Africa tour to England. Dixon is replying to a request for a signed photograph. 'I think the photo you sent me to sign was taken in 1913 in Johannesburg, when I played against J.W.H.T. Douglas' side- probably the strongest team ever to visit this country. Douglas, S.F. Barnes, Hobbs, Rhodes, Mead, Woolley, Hearne, Relf to mention a few!'. Dixon also refers to the current 'S.A. Team to visit England shortly is a good one and should do very well in the tests. They have some good slow bowlers and the batting is strong- they also have the advantage of turf wickets, which we did not have in this country until recent years'. Nicely signed 'C.D. Dixon'. Good cricket content. Sold with an original sepia press photograph dated 30th July 1924 while on tour with the South Africans to England, 4"x6". G/VG
Dixon played in one Test for South Africa, v England in 1914. A member of the 1924 touring party to England, he did not feature in the Test series
