Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Sir Alexander Kaye Butterworth

Letter No.: VWL4003


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

Oct 16 [1937]

Dear Sir Alexander
I thought you would not mind my lending George’s Folksong Collection to the EFDS library.1
It occurs to me that you might like to give the collection to the EFDS (with any reservations you choose to make)
In that case would you write direct to the Librarian (Miss Joan Sharp)
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams


1. See VWL4002. VW was suggesting that George Butterworth’s manuscript folksong collection be given to the library of the English Folk Dance Society.
