THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking, Surrey.

1st. November, 1951.

Dear John

I am returning your two scores herewith, with many thanks, and am soon sending you a corrected version of No.5 for your views.¹
I am sorry I made a mistake about the Scherzo No. 4, but here is what you wrote to me and I think it was liable to be misconstrued.
I[t] seems a shame to bother you about this when you are so busy, but you should not be so kindhearted!
Yrs

R. Vaughan Williams
