Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Cedric Thorpe Davie

Letter No.: VWL765


From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Monday [about 5th August 1935]

Dear Davie
I have directed the O.U.P to send you proof and M.S. both of my Symphony and of my new Choral Work.1 When corrected please send them to me here (registered).  Keep a strict account of the time employed as I understand that payment for this kind of work is by the hour – but don’t stint time on that account – though I shall be glad to have them as soon as possible.
Send each separately to me as soon as it is finished.
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
