Dorking.
Dear Major O’Donnell1
I will be with you at Maida Vale by 8.00 pm (I know my way very well) on March 27th (Wednesday).
Have you timed the items? I shd like to know how long a talk I must prepare. Or possibly on the other hand the programme is too long and some repeats must be cut.
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
