THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

July 19th [1956]

My dears,

A book as well!  Your generosity in time, trouble & things is overwhelming.  Thank you so much for all.¹
Ralph continues to progress² & the painters are making the kitchen habitable and pretty – so all is well.
I have the lining of Eslyn’s gloves.
Love from us both

Ursula.

2. VW was recovering from phlebitis in his leg. See VWL3347 and VWL3350.
