The White Gates,

Daer Lord Farrer
Thankyou very much for your letter – I hope you do not think I have betrayed my ancestry – but it seemed more modest to accept it without any fuss than to set my own judgement of myself against that of the authorities. Thankyou once again 1000 times1
Yrs very sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
