[early July 1925]
Dear Maud
I am so sorry I cd not manage Cambridge – I got mixed up as to dates & forgot that it ended this last this week – and your letter reminding me only got on to me in Surrey when I was already pledged otherwise (not that I wd have avoided them) – But I’m glad you had Somervell1 – the more people we can rope in to work for us2 the better
– I always believe in deputising duties – it’s the only way one discovers new blood.
I’m glad M. Mullinar3 was a success
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
1. Arthur Somervell
2. The English Folk Dance Society
