From R. Vaughan Williams,

Dorking.

[24] Nov. 1935

Dear Adrian
(a) On Wednesday night I tried to ring up G.H. on the internal but cd get no reply
(b) Last night I tried to get to you or G.H.
All to say by word of mouth – instead of a card with “thank you & all your players” for a superb performance.1
