THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
Chelsea
London

June 9th [1913]

Dear Mr Calvocoressi

I think you would be much interested in 3 demonstrations of our English popular (folk) dances which will take place in Paris, Salle Villiers rue Rocher on Friday & Saturday next (June 13 & 14)
The demonstrations will be under the direction of my friend M^r Cecil Sharp who is the great authority on this subject.  The dances themselves have been collected personally by M^r Sharp from the english peasants.  They will be performed on this occasion by the members of the “English Folk dance Society”.  I hope very much that you will find it possible to be present and it would be very kind if you could tell anyone else who is likely to be interested – I am asking M^r Phillip Carr 21 Quai de Bourbon to send you particulars.
With best greetings
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams¹
