THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

December 31st 1953.

My dear Martin,

For your sake and Joan’s we will of course welcome Diccon¹ when ever he likes to come; though I am no good at criticizing compositions, I will however do my best.  Will you write and ask him to make an appointment?

There was a young lady called Zoe
Who lived in the village of Stowey
She said unto Xenia
“Its in for a penny, or
a £ I’ll be vulgar and showy.”

Love from us both to you both, and a Happy New Year.

RVW
