Dear Mr. Budden,

Thank you very much for playing Müller-Hartmann’s Suite yesterday. I thought it was a lovely little work and I think would be popular with string orchestras, as it seems to me very playable and not too difficult.
It certainly ought to be published. Do not you think Hinrichsen’s would consider it?1   
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams

Roy Budden, Esq.


1. The Craigelly Suite for string orchestra (1944), which apparently remains unpublished.
