Dear Frank1

                                                           Programme Notes

I have discovered a misprint in the quotation from Shelley for the prelude “to suffer wrongs” should read “woes”. The word “wrongs” in the second line is correct.
Could this be corrected before any copies are sent out.
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams
