My dear Cedric,

Thank you so much for your letter.¹ You know I like being appreciated, and make no pretence about it!  As regard printing the minature² score beforehand – I may tell you that a lot of alterations are were made at the rehearsals …

1. Glover’s letter was one of congratulations following the first London performance of the Eighth Symphony on 14th May. Glover had observed that it would be nice if a published score was available at the same time. VW was usually anxious not to allow engraving a printed score to begin until after rehearsals and the first performance of major works, in case he decided upon alterations in that period.
