Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Arthur Boosey

Letter No.: VWL4986

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Nov 14 [1940]

Dear Mr. Boosey
Both Rawicz and Landauer were recommended by my C^tee for release. Why one has been released and not the other I cannot imagine …
It might be worth while for you to apply for Landauer’s release on grounds of health by direct application to the Medical Officer at his camp. I have already suggested this to D^r Aber so perhaps something has already been done about it – but my C^tee cannot appeal on other grounds than musical eminence.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
