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

Sunday [summer 1937]

Dear Ord
I have asked the O.U.P.1 to send you a V.S. of ‘Riders’ and have also sent you a rough copy of the F.S. to give you an idea of what is entailed.2 The O.U.P. have a smooth copy for use in performance – but the parts are not copied yet.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
