THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[Mid October 1931]

Dear Dent

I’m sorry about your young man Glock¹ – but I imagine he was hardly the kind of candidate the c^tee had in view – meanwhile what about the Butterworth Trust? Of course it w^d only be quite a small sum, if he got it, but it w^d help. The trust has a meeting on Oct 29th – could you send me an account of Glock & I will send it or take it, if I can go, to the meeting.
There may of course be a feeling, which I to a certain extent share, against sending money abroad at this moment² – but personally I think this is a justifiable case.
Could I know by the way, if and when I shall be wanted to examine at Cambridge again this year.³
