Gimblett is replying to a letter and covers various subjects including his not quite reaching 2000 runs for Somerset in that season and his appendectomy, which he expreses hopes will help him "feel a little more lively than I have done in recent months".

18 x 13cm. 2 horizontal folds per page and diagonal creases. Some spotting and very light staining but all text legible.
