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

July 21 [1947]

Dear Sir

I hear from Mr Arnold Goldsborough that you have chorus copies of Purcell “Come all ye sons of art”  Would it be possible for the Leith Hill Musical Festival to hire these for a performance in April?  We shall want about 200 copies from September onwards
We have a musical selection Ctee next Friday Aug 1st – would it be possible to let me have a specimen chorus part so that I may judge whether it is the sort of thing our amateur singers could tackle
If you also have a complete full or pfte score I shd be glad to see it.
Yrs faithfully

R Vaughan Williams
