THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

Dear Mrs. Thomson,

Thank you and your singers very much for your kind birthday wishes.
I have also had a message from “Falstaff”*, but as he gives no address I cannot write to him.¹  Would you give him my thanks next time you see him?
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams
