My dad wrote this letter to my mother in 1922. They entered the tournament and won. They married in 1927.

Dear Miss Bayley, I am writing to see if you would mind putting up with me as a partner in the tennis tournament in the South Park, on Wednesday.

I am sorry I left it so late, but I didn't know really whether I was playing or not until last Friday, so couldn't fix anything up sooner.

I called at your house tonight (after cycling around Wildboarclough), but there was no one in, so I am asking my cousin, N Sadler, to let you have this note, and perhaps you will send a reply back by him (only do please choose a respectable postcard on which to do so).

Please let me know as soon as possible and then I can fix up definitely. Cheerio! Dick
