I have written an anthem, but at present it is enclosed in the Service Book of the L.C.C.A. When I come back to England in March it will, I hope, be published and I will send you a copy.¹ I was v much interested to hear of y^r musical activities. I hope we shall meet when I return to London.
R. Vaughan Williams
