Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Eva Hubback
Letter No.: VWL4629
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
Monday [30 May 1938]
Dear Mrs Hubback1
Many thanks for your kind invitation – but I have given up lecturing for so long that I have quite forgotten how to do so – and I should have nothing to say to your students that they did not know already. Do get a younger man – I think musical instruction in England is in danger of remaining in the hands of the old fogies.2
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
1. Principal of Morley College.
2. The lecture on music was given by Edwin Evans, on 15 November 1938.
