THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Dec 31st [1939]

Dear Sir Henry

Many thanks for your letter. I will have the parts copied – how many strings will be wanted? I suggest
“Serenade to Music”
(orchestral arrangement)”
“arranged for orchestra alone”
(First performance of this arrangement)

I wish Lady Wood and yourself all the happiness we can reasonably expect in the new year
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
