[c.March 1932]
Dear Bessy
Please forgive my having kept this so long – during Festival Time I had no opportunity of looking at it with a calm view! I think it is charming – & he has got the stress and accent of the English words remarkably well – But it is very difficult!
If I might venture on a criticism I think there is rather too frequent use of that well known stand-by in a difficulty the “indeterminate triad”
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
