THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

[27 July 1936]

Dear Diana

I think your festival would like Judith¹ – it’s not as hard as the Brahms Requiem – or as “The Explorers”². Will you let me know as we have to tell Novellos how many copies we want-  350 will cost £45 & 500 £55.
If you take it how many copies would you want? Roughly 45 minutes – but you might make some cuts.
We are doing Carmen for our Div II – wd your Div II like that.
Are you going to be at Hereford on August 27?
Love from

Uncle Ralph
