THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

October 14th 1953.

Dear Arnold Barter,

The flowers are lovely: we put them in the room where we celebrated my birthday party, and they stood out beautifully against our white walls.¹ Thank you and all my friends of the Bristol Philharmonic for thinking of me.

I must add my word of pleasure too: the flowers glow, and made a rather unfurnished room into a real harvest festival, and gave us all great pleasure.
Please remember me to your brother,
Ursula V.W.

1. The flowers were sent for VW’s 81st birthday.
