THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
Chelsea, S.W.

April 6th [1914]

Dear Mr Calvocoressi

Could you very kindly help me in a difficulty.  I have had a letter from Miss Lois Fuller asking if she may do my new “London Symphony” at a concert she is giving at the Chatelet – Can you tell me any thing about these concerts – are they likely to be good – & are they well thought of – Do you advise me to let my new work be produced in Paris under these conditions – or had I better wait for a more favourable opportunity?  I am so sorry to trouble you but I trust your judgement so much and I have no one else to consult.¹
Yrs very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
