THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

June 15th 1955.

My dear Joan,

I had started some explorations but was told I was too late, so this must have come from pure merit, without any wire pulling.  I know that neither you nor I care about honours¹, but after all it is the only way in which thousands of people can express their affection and admiration for a well beloved man.
Love from
Ralph & Ursula.²

1.  On Shaw’s receiving an FRCM.
2.  Final greeting and signature by VW; Ursula’s name added by UVW.
