Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Cedric Thorpe Davie
Letter No.: VWL2580
The White Gates,
Dorking.
March 18 [1948]
Dear Cedric
I was very glad to have news of you once more & am so glad to hear about the incidental music. I will certainly say good things about you.
Meanwhile the people who manage my film music are Linnit & Dunfee (Good name! Not Linnet or Done–Fee!).
I think they would undertake theatre contracts as well – they lick off 10% but I think it is worth while.
I enclose a letter
Give my love to Bruno1 & say I hope it will be a girl & as pretty as she is – also that if she had not sent her love I shd have died of a broken heart.
Yrs
R. Vaughan Williams
1. Cedric’s wife Margaret was known as ‘Bruno’; she was expecting their first child.
