Autograph letter signed from W.A. Cheetham to Adolph Brodsky

Scope and Content

Cheetham has been consulted by James N. Cheetham of Jackson Street, Stretford, about serious injuries sustained on Sunday afternoon near Knutsford when he was run down by Brodsky's motor car. Mr Cheetham was cycling at a necessarily moderate pace with his wife in a trailer behind him. He had successfully negotiated a turn, when Brodsky appeared in the opposite direction on the wrong side of the road. Mr Cheetham was dashed to the ground and his bicycle damaged. Brodsky fetched a surgeon to the spot. Mr Cheetham has since been attended by his own doctor who certifies that he has a broken rib, a scalp wound and shock to the system. He has to remain in bed. Mr Cheetham wonders what compensation Brodsky is willing to make for the damage and consequent loss sustained at his hands. The letter is dated 6 Sep 1904.
