THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

Jan 3 [1947]

Dear Frank

The Pipers Guild apparently want to possess the MS of my Suite – so when you have done with it would you let them have it.¹
On March 10 (Monday) probably at 11.30 & probably at RCM Michael Mullinar is going to play through the sketch of a new symphony by me – I sh^d be delighted if you could come – & will you pass this invitation on to Peterkin.²
For those who cannot manage 11.30 I will try to arrange another session at 2.30³
