THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

10 Hanover Terrace
 N.W.1

Sept 30 [1953]

Dear Tony

I am so angry and ashamed at the title page of your new tune.  As you well know I wrote neither the tune, the harmonies nor the words – so my name ought not to appear at all – Whereas my name is printed bigger than yours! I feel such a fool being given credit for something I have never done (I wish I had!).¹
I have written a stinger to Alan Frank – do you think I ought to be firm and demand withdrawal of the issue[?]
My love to Ruth
Yrs
