My Dear Page
That is a most wonderful cake - we all partook (including R. O. Morris who now lives with us and sends best greetings) & all thank you heartily - as well as for the splendid cheese you sent before for which I could not thank you because you gave no address!
I remember that Lilburne1 joined you in that - remember me to him with affection when next you see him and give him my belated thanks.
I hope that you & your work prosper and that you are covering some music paper - you here were a prolific writer - but it's quality that counts.
I hope we may meet again one day
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
