Charles Jesse Kortwright. Essex 1894-1907. Hand written two page letter to J.D. Coldham, cricket author and collector, relating to fast bowling. Kortwright states 'The question (personal) you ask me is an impossible one for me to answer as I never played my own bowling... I was only dug up by a few ignorant so-called cricket reporters as a means of comparison with the pace of Harold Larwood... in the Douglas Jardine expedition in Australia, when Australia got some of their own medicine and couldn't stomach it. The best way to compare the pace of any bowler with another is to bat against both of them in my opinion, which in most cases is impossible'. Nicely signed 'Yours sincerely, Chas J. Kortwright. A rare Kortwright item. VG - cricket
Kortwright was regarded as the fastest bowler of his day, and by some the fastest ever to appear in first-class cricket
