THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

July 16 [1948]

Dear Frank

(1)  Job at Worcester
Atkins refuses to let me have a Saxophone – if he persists I shall cut the section where it occurs (Scene VI  F.S. p. 67 up to letter (Pp)) – so please ask your librarian not to send the parts till this is settled – & then if he persists to paste paper over the cuts to be made.¹
(2)  I return the Galop – it seems all right.²
(3)   I return your note about Job with my comment³
Yrs
