THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

July 27th, 1952

Dear Hubert

I am so glad you are off the sick list at last.
As regards the Sinfonia, I do not know whether the Hallé people want anything said until it actually comes out.¹  Could you write to them and ask?
As to the music, both full score and sketch are at present with Roy Douglas, who is copying and correcting it. I fear it will take some time. The records of the Scott of the Antarctic contain some of the music which I have incorporated. I am sorry to be so unhelpful.
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams

1. Sinfonia Antartica, to be given its first performance by the Hallé orchestra on 14th January 1953.
