Dear Boult
Many thanks for the lists – I have altered my part-song to “Sweet Day” – I hope you don’t mind1
The only Sullivan that I can find is “Strange Adventure” (Yeomen)2 – it is really only a part song – but very charming & I think will do
I will try & think of something for your man – but I’m afraid that “Ghost” work is a close compilation – probably Gustav wd know – & I think Waddington might know
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
