THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From Ralph Vaughan Williams Esq.
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Jan 3rd 1935

Dear Tovey

It seems a shame to add to the hosts of letters you must be receiving – I am glad you did not refuse – because it is through public recognition of this kind that many of us find our only means of expressing our thanks for all you have done for music.¹
Of course no answer.
Yours very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams

1. Tovey had been awarded a knighthood in the New Year’s honours in 1935.
