THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,

17th February, 1949.

Dear Frank

                            The opera
Thank you for your letter with the estimates.¹
I am now thinking of having a German translation made. This would involve a complete re-copying of the score. When that is done we could find out the cost of one complete copy and then proceed from that to settle about photographing or otherwise.
I am sending you a copy of the “Mass” under separate cover.
Yours sincerely,

R Vaughan Williams

1. The opera in question is Pilgrim’s Progress. Frank had sent VW estimates for making 12 copies from photographs of the score, at a cost of £200 – £250 for 300 pages, and 150 vocal scores for about £45.
