THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking, Surrey.

10th January, 1951.

Thank you for the letter.
I do not think I feel inclined to write for the organ, but see my letter in next week’s “Sunday Times” – that is, if they put it in.
I return Mr. Bigg’s letter herewith.¹
By the way I have written two, or I think, three times to Alan Rawsthorne care of you and can get no answer. Can you suggest to me how I can get hold of him?
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams

1. Frank had sent VW a letter which had been received by the OUP’s American Agent, Lyle Dowling , from the organist E. Power Biggs thanking Dowling for the present of  Foss’s Ralph Vaughan Williams: a study, which had just been published. Biggs said that he wished VW had written more organ music. The letter sent to the Sunday Times was about the Royal Festival Hall organ – see VWL5275.
