I had previously beaten Andra in a home and home match Burnham and Winchester, and when he had got back to St Andrews, had spread my reputation as a player, all who cared to listen. I'm proud to remember when I had won "Andra" was delighted to acknowledge that his predictions as to my capabilities were full and completely justified" et al - great content and signed J H Taylor.
