Dear Peterkin

I shd be much obliged if you wd pass this problem on to the O.U.P. authorities who deal with such matters.
When the OUP published my “Serenade to music” I asked them to pay all royalties direct to H.J. Wood for his hospital fund.
In my latest royalty account I find 4 entries under “Serenade to music”  £2-8-11/ 8s.2d/£7-16-7/3-16-3 – are these just statements and has the cash been paid to H.J. Wood – or was the cash paid to me, in which case I must pass it on.
I’m sorry to bother you over this.
R. Vaughan Williams
