THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

Jan 11th 1942

Dear Mr Isaacs¹

Herewith score & parts of 49^th // l prelude.² I have left out 2 sax, 3rd trpt & C. Fag have written out a new score and amended the parts accordingly.
I believe I am quite free to have it performed as a concert piece, but I suggest you write as an act of courtesy to secretary Ortus Films Ltd. Denham Studios Denham Uxbridge Middlesex telling them of the performance.
If you do it will you tell me the date & time & whether it can be heard here & on what wave length.
Yours sincerely
R. Vaughan Williams
