THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates

April 1 [1950]

Dear Mr Oldham
I will expect you about 10am on Tuesday April 4^th
If you are coming by bicycle I suppose you will come through Reigate. When you get to Dorking go straight along the High Street till you get to where West Street forks off to the right. Keep straight on till about 300 yards past the Fire Station – there a lane turns up to the right with a sign “To the White Gates” – you will know which is the right lane because it turns off to the right just after a house with the strange name of “Batu Merah”
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
