Dear George,
Received papers for 1st round of Cup today, the Albion were lucky to draw eh! Fancy only 27,000 spectators I thought they were doing well, heres hoping Sheffield United win the Cup
Cheerio. Eric.

Albion played Charlton Athletic and drew both at home and at the reply, finally going through at the third attempt, played at Villa Park. Over 52,000 attended the quarter final against Wolves later that year. Why Eric should be hoping Sheffield United go on to win is a mystery, though there may have been some money on it.
