THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Jan 7 [1953]

Dear Boo

I am very sorry I shall not see you on the 16^th – but I quite understand.
I propose that Beasley shall call for you on Sunday (11^th) at 5.30 to take you to W.G. – will that be all right?¹
Mind you make them make you comfortable and use the car whenever you want it.
I hope no one will be ill in the house! But in case you want brandy you will find it & all other drinks in the corner cupboard by the gramophone – the key is in the middle drawer of the kneehole writing table just opposite.
