[late March 1934]
Dear Barter
I believe I never wrote to thank your mother & you & your brother for your great hospitality – a fine visit though so short & I want to say that I think you are a wonderful person & I hope your choir are worthy of you – I think they are1
This is an answer to your v. nice letter for which I thank you heartily – so this wants no answer.
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
