Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to John Buckland

Letter No.: VWL5015

The White Gates

Jan 17 [1951]

Dear Buckland
1^st let me congratulate you on the advent of Michael
2^ndly I am much interested in the progress of your Morris scheme – My advice is to be content with seven. Six dancers and 1 odd man out. Have them very well trained under a first rate teacher and then give a show – Then I think you’ll set the ball rolling.
3^rdly I should like to see your new choral work but Sundays are rather difficult for me – so may we put it off till Easter?
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
