Dear Boult

Can you tell me who has got the parts of L. Symph – Are they at Cheyne Walk – or have you got them?  I have now revised the score and I want to put the corrections into the parts – If you have the parts w^d you mind sending me 1 copy each of the string parts (preferably 1^st desk) & the wind etc parts to above address.¹
I made sure Stainer & Bell had the parts but I find they have not.
Yrs

R Vaughan Williams
