A journalist, Spencer had secretly negotiated a deal for Bradman for the Lancashire League, and in these letters (4pp, typed) - 'the only other person in Australia knows of this correspondence to you, and that is Don Bradman and it will be necessary that no one else shall know'. Includes a quote from Fairfax to Spencer on how well he was doing in England. Two letters fine, the last torn (in frustration?), but readable
