From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
January 12 [1939]
Dear Mr Downes
This letter introduces to you my friends Mr. & Mrs. Julian Gardiner who are coming to New York.
Mr. Gardiner is an accomplished tenor singer and a talented composer. Mrs. Gardiner is also a composer whose work I admire – She writes under the name of Mary Couper. I am sure you will like them both.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
