10 Barton Street
Westminster

October 28th [1901]

Dear Randolph,

[…] We are fairly settled down – at least Ralph is for until his ‘triumphant epilogue’1 is finished he will not go further than Hampstead Heath. He promises me a Sunday at Salisbury when it is done with. No orders for lectures on music have come in so far. Do you not feel the need for some at York? […]
Do you know the Quantocks?  Ralph & I were there with his mother in September & liked them very much.  We started at Nether Stowey & ended at Dunster.  It necessitated a lot of Coleridge & Wordsworth from which I am only just recovering.
How did you get on with d’Annunzio I wonder – I hope you may be coming to London again before long.  Our anxiety goes on just the same – there is no improvement.
Yours affectionately

Adeline Vaughan Williams
