THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Jan 18 [1941]

Dear Foss,

                                                              M.B. arr^t of “England”¹

I must on no account be responsible for doing Gordon Jacob out of a job – so please if he still wishes to do it let things be as they are. I only meant that if he cried off I w^d do it myself rather than hand it on to anyone else.
I believe there will soon be a spate of Internee applications so perhaps we ought to call a full c^tee meeting.²

Yrs
