Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Grace Williams

Dearest Grace
I was so glad of your letter
Betty's symphony¹ was given a splendid play through - all the best players there & they spent about 1 1/2 hours on it. I think it is 1^st rate - Whether they are going to do it or not I don't know
Come & see me soon
Yrs
Uncle Ralph

1. Elizabeth Maconchy's first symphony, composed 1929-1930, later withdrawn.
