Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Joan Shaw
Letter No.: VWL4239
From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1
October 30th 1955.
Dearest Joan,
Ursula has shown me your letter:
1. If your Committee will state a case & apply for a grant, I fear a small one, from The Ecclesiastical Trust c/o Secretary English Hymnal Company Ltd, 68 Coleman Street, E.C.2. it will receive attention. I fear that normally, not till our annual meeting in July, but if it was urgent we could probably arrange an emergency meeting.
2. I accept Oxford, 11am Tuesday July 19th. Tell me when later on.
3. As regards new EH idea I fear I cannot do anything about it myself, but if you would really be willing to make up a book I will vet it & make suggestions, doubtless Martin would do the same.
Love to you both
Ralph
P.S. Those fools who write letters to the paper are not worth answering
