THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
Chelsea, S.W.

[c.8th October 1914]

Dear Dent

It is most fearfully kind of you & I accept with gratitude. The wind parts are at present out being copied in. But they will dribble back slowly. Meantime I send the percussion to go on with. W^d you send back the slow movement as soon as done so that I can get it bound.¹
