The White Gates
16 August 1950
Dear Parry Jones
Thank you so much for your letter. I felt those things wanted saying, and I am old enough not to mind if a little mud is slung at me in consequence, but as a matter of fact all my letters have been like yours – kind and appreciative.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
