THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[September 1943]

Dear Peter
I’ve already written a screed about Norman Hay & sent it direct to Birmingham – Time was too short to do anything else.
I wish I knew more about his work – but i wrote enthusiastically about what I did know.
I see much of your name in the Radio Times these days.
Did Jelly² tell you how we did the Mendelssohn Concerto without rehearsal?
Yrs 
R Vaughan Williams
