THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
S.W.

[October 1909]

Dear Miss Charrington

I am perfectly disgraceful not to have written to you before – please forgive me – my only excuse is that I shall not see M^r Schwiller¹ till Friday when I will ask him – these things are done better by word of mouth – I don’t think Miss Stack or Miss Fletcher²  need be asked to the examination – as I shall reserve the right to let a member in whom I think good enough even if they don’t pass – this for nervous members!
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
