Dear Miss Sharp
It is good of you to be taking all this trouble. I agree with your letter but as between ourselves I think we ought to share all profits & losses equally. This seems all rather premature when the thing is’nt1 even written – much less performed. But it is better to get it all settled.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
