THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

[War years - ?1941]

Dearest Imogen

Here is the draft of the Dict Nat Biog article¹ – I’ve cut it down so that it is now little more than a catalogue: and it is still about 300 words too long.  But there it is.  W^d you be very good & go through it
1) for errors of fact & date
2) your opinion as to whether I have kept the [main] things & left out the unimportant.
– I fear I have had to cut out the reference to E Evans’ 1919 article  – w^d you also add anything else which should go in the bibliography[?]
All my love

Uncle Ralph
