THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

May 12th 1957.

Dear Alan,

Here is a possible list for the recording of a selection of P.K.¹ I am against including the Overture, since, as there is a time limit, I would rather use the time for the songs which are all included in the Overture.  I should like to include one or two chorus numbers – but they can be left out if necessary.
I enclose some errata in Valiant-for-Truth,² discovered by John Kirkpatrick of Cornell University.³
