The White Gates

Feb 10 [1948]

Dear M^r Sheppard
A lovely parcel has just come from you – every thing perfect. I know how my husband will enjoy the fig jam – I can’t begin to thank you.¹ I wish I could think of something that we have and you haven’t
Can you listen in to the 6^th Symphony on April 21? I hope all goes well with you – yours sincerely
Adeline Vaughan Williams
