Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Gerald Finzi

Dear Gerald

I do hope you will be able to come after all.  The times are as follows:
Thursday, March 1st.  3 p.m.   rehearsal for such of the orchestra as turn up.
          “            “          7.15 p.m.  Full rehearsal with chorus and some of the orchestra and the Evangelist.

Between these, at about 5 p.m. there will be a meal in the Hall to which you are both welcome.

Saturday, March 3rd,  10.15 p.m.  Full (I hope) orchestra and all soloists, but no chorus.
        "                   “      2.45 p.m.  Performance.
 
Again a meal at the hall between these to which I invite you both if you can come.¹

My love to Joyce
Yrs
