The White Gates,
Dorking,

29th January, 1948.

Dear Mr May,

In answer to your letter of January 22nd. (GOM/BHS/2031A), there is already an Orchestration of my “Lake in the Mountains” as one of the numbers of my “Forty-Ninth Parallel” suite.
Perhaps Mr. Skeens can use that.1
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams

G.O. May Esq.,
Oxford University Press,
