THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
SW3

[October 1922]

Dear Mrs Newton¹

Nov 17th w^d suit me all right
As to fee, as president of the society (if I am still – I can’t remember – or ex-president) I don’t want any – except my actual train fare.  As for Miss Longman – do you think you c^d run to £5-5-0 for her – or what?
When I hear from you I will write to her
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams

1. ‘Newton’ added in pencil in another hand. Dorothy Newton (later Burnaby) was Secretary (?) of the Cambridge branch of the English Folk Dance Society.
2. Possibly VW was to give a lecture to the Cambridge branch of the English Folk Dance Society, of which he was President, with piano examples played by Margaret Longman (see R.V.W.: a biography, p.105)
