Hutchinson, ? : Letter from Pelham Francis Warner

The letter was written from Christchurch while Warner was on tour with the English cricket team. He mentions a possible job opportunity in London when he returns. He refers to interest in his new book, and the success of the team in New Zealand - "I made 211 the other day". He concludes "This is a beautiful country but the climate is overrated."

Warner had a long career as a cricketer for Middlesex and England. After his retirement as a player he was a prominent cricket official - and was manager of the English team during the infamous 'bodyline' tour of Australia in 1932-1933. He was knighted in 1937.
