Letter No.: VWL4273


From R. Vaughan Williams,
10 Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park
London, N.W.1.

May 29 1957

Dear Mr Morris1
Here are the green proofs of ‘Sons of Light’ – I have marked certain pages which I should like to see again – but as I shall be away all June & these revises will be back before my return, perhaps you wd kindly check them.
I also send a new simplified version of the full score for use by school orchestras etc. – could the parts of this be copied? but first the score carefully checked by some one competent – The score is not to supersede the original, which I still want used when there is a 1st class orchestra (with the new cuts, of course, perhaps you could kindly see to this)
I also return F.s. of Epithalamion with apologies
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
