John Shuter. Kent, Surrey and England 1874-1909. Interesting one page handwritten letter, on 'Kennington Oval' headed paper, dated June 18th 1885 from Shuter to 'Lucas' asking him to play in a match at Manchester. Shuter states 'Dear Lucas, Will you play for South v North at Manchester on July 9th, 10th, 11th for Watson's [Alexander] Benefit?. Kindly let me have a reply as soon as possible. Hornby says all Gents expenses paid do please excuse my having it'. The letter nicely signed in ink 'John Shuter'. The letter with minor tape marks to corners on verso otherwise in very good condition. Sold with various press pictures featuring Shuter accompany the letter. A scarce letter - cricket
Shuter captained Surrey between 1880-1893 and was appointed Secretary to the county club in 1919, unfortunately dying before he had completed a year in office. The 'Lucas' referred to in the letter was probably A.P. Lucas, Surrey, Middlesex, Essex & England, however he did not play in the game. Watson's Benefit match finished in a draw, Shrewsbury top scoring with 101 and Peate taking six wickets in the match
