Dear Mrs Hadley

I am sending off new vocal score & chorus parts of the final scene of P.P. to Mr Gritton – I also enclose 4 chorus parts for your use.  I think your part of the chorus had better come to our second London rehearsal
– Did we settle Tuesday & Thursday?
I don’t think it matters about the bass & tenor angels a bit – there are supposed to be many more than are seen on the stage I suppose.
I don’t mind the stage angels opening their mouths but they must not sing please nor does the date of Down among the dead men matter.

[Note on letter in different hand]: Chorus & Soloists to be at 33 Q.A. St.1  Wednesday Nov. 28th 4 o’c


1. 33 Queen Anne Street, Mrs Hadley’s address.
