THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking, Surrey,

1st. May, 1951.

Dear Christopher
I liked the Suite¹ very much, so did many other people.
I think some of the writing is rather too elaborate, especially where you divide the violins rather unnecessarily.  Also I feel the last movement is a little bit on the long side.  I think that could be easily remedied.
My love to Phyllis
RVW
(R. Vaughan Williams).
