[Rugby Union] Autograph Letter Signed "V. H. Cartwright" to unnamed correspondent who has asked him for anecdotes.

Three pages, 12mo, bifolium, vestiges of hinges on second leaf, fold marks, good condition. He apologises for nor answering before. "I'm afraid any amusing experiences in connection with Rugby Football are hardly printable but I will give you them for what they are worth. 1/ England v Wales 1905 @ Cardiff | I was leaving the playing pitch after the match (score Wales 25 Eng. 0) when a small boy selling 'death cards' came up to me & said 'death card of England, sir?'. Welsh collier next to me said 'Cant you see the b___'s been at the funeral'!" He then tells an anecdote arising from England v France in 1906, when a member of the England party while visiting the tomb of Napoleon, said, "Well! they've got the old b___ safe at last!".
