From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
July 16 [1948]
Dear Frank
(1) Job at Worcester
Atkins refuses to let me have a Saxophone – if he persists I shall cut the section where it occurs (Scene VI F.S. p. 67 up to letter (Pp)) – so please ask your librarian not to send the parts till this is settled – & then if he persists to paste paper over the cuts to be made.1
(2) I return the Galop – it seems all right.2
(3) I return your note about Job with my comment3
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
