THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Dec 16 1941

Dear Isaacs

I have been talking to Muir¹ on the phone and he urges me to send you the prelude to 49th || l ²   for Jan 30th if you still want it.  It plays about 2½ minutes. He is sending me the band parts and as soon as I have checked them I will send them to you with the score
Probably you will want some extra string parts – I suppose you will get those done.³
Yrs sincerely

R Vaughan Williams
