THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[May 1935]

Dearest Grace
Many, many thanks – it is these letters from my friends which mitigate the awful prospect of having to go to Buck Pal in fancy dress.¹
Sorry your luck failed over the Derby
I sh^d love to come & see you one day soon
Love from
Uncle Ralph
