Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Major Percy S.G. O’Donnell
Letter No.: VWL1398
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
March 3rd [1940]
Dear Major O’Donnell
I have noted the date Wednesday March 27 – 9.35 pm.
As regards the titles as they are not correct in your letter I give them –
The Running Set1 – M.S (OUP)
Folk Dance Medley2 – M.S
Suite of Marching Tunes3 – M.S
This last I intend to be the illustrations of my talk. I think it would be better this time to make them into a little Suite rather than all separate. I am afraid I have not the timings. Could you perhaps get this done as I have no copies here?
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
