Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Joan Western
The White Gates,
Dorking.
Dear Mrs Western
I am sending your list to Dr Davison.1 I will approach the Secretary of the R.C.M. Union about enclosing leaflets with their annual report -
Perhaps you have already done so but would it be a good plan to send a copy of our leaflet to each of our supporters and telling them they can have as many more as they like & you hope they may help us etc.
