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

March 1st 1956.

Dear Both of you,
It is a bitter disappointment, but I fear the doctor forbids even next Saturday.  I am so glad we came to that rehearsal because I knew when I saw it that all would go well, and my prophecy has been justified by many of my friends who have been delighted with the singing, the playing and the production.  One said that she heard every word, another that the story came out extraordinarily clearly; a third, that the audience took all the amusing points with gusto.  The playing of the orchestra was also praised.  For all these things I thank you both, and all your fellow participators please give them all my love and gratitude, and keep a large portion for yourselves.
Yrs sincerely
R. Vaughan Williams1
