Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Maud Karpeles
Letter No.: VWL4825
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
[June 1933]
Dear Maud
I am horrified at the vulgarity of the enclosed leaflet – it is not even original
Who is responsible for it – not Inez I hope!1
If it is irrevocable the worst fears of all the F.S.S.2 die-hards will be realized
