THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Oct 26th [1948]

Dear Irving

V. good – only are not Main Titles & End Music¹ too much alike – but just as you think best. How about one of the “snow marches”? I presume that the “prologue” includes Mabel.²
I suppose it is just possible that I am down for an invitation to the Command performance³ – please see that my name is deleted. It w^d be difficult to refuse & I c^d not face it.
My love to Una.
Yrs
