THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk

Monday [1st April 1912]

Dear Mr. Farrar,¹

Many thanks for your kind letter and programme.  I’m so glad your concert was a success and I wish I could have heard your orchestra play.²  I hope I may see your new choral suite when next you come to London.³
Yours very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams³
