THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
SW3

[Late March 1929]

Dear Maud

I’m glad you liked most of it¹ – I shall think seriously over Act IV – at present I like all the dance tunes except one – I want them to be a bit rough & grotesque – they are village boys playing at fairies – not real fairies.
I hope Lowestoft (?) goes well – give my love to all my friends there.
Yrs
