THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates
Dorking

Xmas Day [1943]

My Dear Page

That is a most wonderful cake – we all partook (including R. O. Morris who now lives with us and sends best greetings) & all thank you heartily – as well as for the splendid cheese you sent before for which I could not thank you because you gave no address!
I remember that Lilburne¹ joined you in that – remember me to him with affection when next you see him and give him my belated thanks.
I hope that you & your work prosper and that you are covering some music paper –  you here were a prolific writer – but it’s quality that counts.
I hope we may meet again one day
Yrs

R.  Vaughan Williams
