Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Alan Frank (OUP)
Letter No.: VWL3513
From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.
May 12th 1957.
Dear Alan,
Here is a possible list for the recording of a selection of P.K.1 I am against including the Overture, since, as there is a time limit, I would rather use the time for the songs which are all included in the Overture. I should like to include one or two chorus numbers – but they can be left out if necessary.
I enclose some errata in Valiant-for-Truth,2 discovered by John Kirkpatrick of Cornell University.3

1. The Poisoned Kiss. Check if recording was ever issued.
