THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk,
S.W.1.

[1910?]

Dear Child,
I shd think the drafts w^d do very well.  I want something rather march-like in character I think (rather like my ‘vagabond’ song!)
I enclose a bit of music which I have thought of as a sort of theme for him when he mentions his name – it is quite bad and commonplace at present – but the rhythm is, I think, good.
R.V.W.
