London, N.W.1.
Dear Alan,
EPITALAMION.1

Location of original letter:
OUP had written on 25 April to say that Roy Douglas had spent some time in checking and revising the vocal score of Epithalamion, there was quite a bit of revision and that Douglas's bill for the work was £7.10s; OUP had suggested dividing the bill but VW offered to pay.
