THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,

11th December, 1947.

Dear Bush,

Thank you very much for your letter about May Charlton, which told me all I want to know.¹
It is a difficult case to help, but I think your idea I should write to her Father is a good one and I am writing to her to suggest it without mentioning your name.  I cannot write without asking her as I do not know his address.
Yours sincerely,

R Vaughan Williams
(R. Vaughan Williams).

1.  See VWL2430. Bush had replied equivocally saying that despite taste and originality she had no application or perseverance. He thought she would pass a music degree provided she persevered sufficiently. He suggested that VW write to her parents encouraging them to support her while she took a detgree course.
