Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Alan Frank (OUP)

The White Gates,
Dorking,

28th April, l949.

Dear Frank,

In answer to your letter, ref.  ACF:JM:850:1106, I am quite in favour of issuing some separate numbers in the P.K., but both the ones you mention, “Blue Larkspur” and “Love Breaks all Rules” are duets and I cannot see them in any other way.1
As regards the latter, I think, with the exception of one line the words are excellent as they are and I should not wish them altered.
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams

Alan Frank, Esq.,
Oxford University Press,
