Description:
Ron Hamence's first test - Don Bradman letter: hand-written letter to Ron Hamence from Don Bradman, 'Please Accept My Heartiest Congratulations on Your Selection in the Australian Team For the 5th Test Match. It Is But a Fitting Reward For Your Many Fine Performances. I Hope You Will Try Very Hard to Get a Score in Brisbane. Our Actual Eleven For Sydney Won't be Known Until the Morning of the Match But It Is Possible That the Press May Mislead You Into Thinking You Are to be the 12th Man. Don't Take Any Notice of Anything You Read But Work on the Assumption You Will be in the 11. This Is a Great Opportunity For You Ron and I Wish You Every Success. Look After Yourself up North - Food and Water Are a Bit Tricky up There. Will See You at Ushers Next Week. My Regards to the Team and Good Luck to You All. Yours Sincerely, Don', with original envelope. Superb condition. Ex Ron Hamence collection.
