Gobert proceeds to ask Rootham to thank various members of the committee, including Miss. Lattey, on his behalf and also remarks 'I will not be - unfortunately - on the Paris team. My military duties only ending next September. There is no hope and no possibility for me to cross the channel and be with my team there. All the regrets will be on my side. This Paris v. London match is, a bit, my own work and it will be the first time I will be missing it.' Also including an A.L.S. W.

Masson informs his correspondent of the French teams for the Paris v. London match, listing the Singles and Doubles payers (both including Gobert) and confirms that the Captain will be [Albert] Canet, further remarking 'We should have very much liked your team to have stayed an extra day in Paris….In London, the match was played in four days, and we think it only fair that in Paris this time, it should also be played in four days. We are paying you 600 frs - but if the match is played in 4 days, we shall pay you 850 frs, so that the expenses of the extra day would be amply covered'. Masson concludes by asking to be informed on which train the team will arrive in Paris so that he can arrange to meet them and in a postscript adds that he has just received Rootham's letter 'giving us the composition of the London team. We remark there are no substitutes mentioned - is this as it should be or is it an error?' With several pencil annotations and marks in the margin, presumably in Rootham's hand, and with overall age wear and some small areas of paper loss and numerous small tears to the edges, none of which significantly affect the text or signature.

AN HISTORIC ENGLAND RUGBY UNION INTERNATIONAL JERSEY WORN BY QUAKER FRANCIS HUGH FOX, CAPTAIN IN THEIR 1890 VICTORY OVER SCOTLAND Offered together with his cap for the match, original England team framed photo and five other caps, we believe that the jersey is the oldest England International Rugby Union jersey to be offered at auction. Francis Hugh Fox (1863-1952) played club rugby for Wellington RFC, the Marlborough Nomads and was one of the original members of the Barbarians Football Club. He lived in the Somerset country-house of Woolcombe, near Wellington (now a hotel) then later Tone Dale House which is still occupied by the Fox family - a family with Quaker heritage. He was educated at Marlborough College, a school which had a pedigree for producing England Rugby Internationals during the late nineteenth century as two 'Old Marlburians' appearing in the first England International match v Scotland in 1871. Fox's England experience was curtailed when sadly he declined the offer of a second International cap due to commitments with the family mill - a woollen and worsted clothing mill operating since 1772. As Quakers, the Fox family were pioneers of social progress introducing many benefits for the welfare of their employees including a nursery facility, a canteen, chapels, schools and sports pitches and halls. The Fox family ensured that employees were provided with leisure time for sporting matches and group outings. In 1873 a scheme was initiated to offer profit sharing, free medical attendance, compulsory insurance against sickness and company pensions. These social measures were put in place by Lloyd George forty years. The company employed about 5,000 people in the height of its output, in Wellington and at their subsidiary factories at Cullompton, Culmstock, Uffculme, Wiveliscombe, Weston super Mare and Chipping Norton.
