THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
London S.W

Sept 3rd [1909]

Dear Mr Calvocoressi

I am sorry to have troubled you with a telegram – But I have decided to produce my 4^tet at a concert here and we want it at once for rehearsal.  If you think of doing it in Paris I will have another copy made for you.¹
Meanwhile I am sending you my quintet (a much earlier work).²
Yrs very truly

R. Vaughan Williams
