Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Adrian Boult

Letter No.: VWL2324

Oct 4th 1947

Dear Adrian

Very confidential

I hear a rumour that my pianoforte music is going to be talked about on Sunday week.¹ Could this be stopped as it is quite an unimportant part of my work.
If not could you possibly vet: the script so that nothing shall be said that I could possibly object to?
Yrs
