THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[mid-1930s]

Dearest Grace
I am so sorry – I’ve done my best & written to M^rs Jenkins – I so hope all will come right
& O, my darling child – do learn wisdom from an old hand at the game & as soon as you have finished a work cue it in at once or at all events say at the beginning what can be done without.
Try to come at 4.45 RCM¹ tomorrow I have to leave in a taxi citywards at once – but if you didn’t mind coming out of your way we c^d have a ride together. I did like meeting your Egon²
Love from Uncle Ralph
