THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
Surrey.

10th April, 1951

Dear Anthony

I should like to help you about the Concerto very much, but I think we shall have to put off until after April 26th, when my mind will be more clear of other things.¹
I think the C.P.N.M.²  are drawing in their horns due to lack of funds.
Yrs
