THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Oct 9 [1942]

Dear Sir

I am serving on a committee (at the request of the Home Office) to make recommendations for the release of interned musicians “of undoubted distinction”.¹
I understand that you know Mr Georg Friedrich Winternitz² – Would you be so kind as to let me and my committee know (in confidence) whether you consider that he can be described as of “undoubted distinction”? Could you give facts and reasons to support your view?
Yours faithfully

R. Vaughan Williams
