THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

[About 6th October 1936]

Dear Fritz

I would love to meet you again.  If you are ever at R.C.M. on a Wednesday do come in – how about lunch at the R.C.M. one Wednesday.
They are doing my new tune (which was produced at Huddersfield last week) on Nov l3th at the BBC – but I fear that is too late for you.¹  I was sick at missing your concert.  I had a rehearsal for Norwich at the same moment.²
