From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
[July 1939]
Dear Mr Thompson
I am asking Dr Hull of Hereford1 to send you a copy of the notes I have written for them
Please note title
Five variants of “Dives and Lazarus”2
The “ ” (inverted commas) are important as they are the title of the tune from which the variants are derived.
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
