Dear Mr. Lowe,
Conferming1 my telephone message if you decide to do my “Flos campi”2 I should like Lionel Tertis to play it. I thought he was fine in the “Berlioz” last night.3 As regards baritone how about Frank Frederic Sharp? I thought he sang very well at Glyndebourne.
Yours sincerely,
R Vaughan Williams
