THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking

Jan 22 [1951]

Dear Foote¹

I am very sorry but I am obliged to make slight alterations in S.O.L. ² – I enclose them:  p. 40. l. 3 last bar   p.41. l.1 1^st bar.³
Would it be better to have errata slips printed in which case I suggest 2 slips exactly to size which can be pasted on by the singers.
Or. Enough handmade copies to send one to each conductor & let each singer alter his own part – which ever it is ought to be done quickly – of course, as it is all my own fault I am prepared to stand the expense
I am so sorry to be such a nuisance
Yrs
