A letter of complaint from F.H. Cathcart Esq. to a Clerk of the Course regarding the behaviour of a Steward, dated 6th October 1921, reading: 'I have received a letter of apology from Sir Claude de Crespigny which I have accepted but it does not alter my opinion that he is quite unfit to be a Steward at a meeting and I hope I can have an assurance that after your next meeting he will not figure in the list of Stewards. I am asking other Clerks of the Course where he is a Steward to take the same line.', mounted, framed & glazed Frederick Cathcart, the author of this letter, is largely responsible for promoting Cheltenham's pre-eminence in National Hunt racing and is credited with starting the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Champion Hurdle.
