London, N.W.1.

My dear Harriet,
Thank you very much for you letter. I am writing to Adrian Boult pressing the claims of Arnold’s third symphony. I fear I cannot break my rule never to push my own work, who ever plays it.
Thank you for your beautiful playing in Cork.1
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
& love from Ursula.2
