[About 8th May 1910]

Dear Dent

I feel I didn’t say enough to thank you for all you did on Friday – & what an honour I feel it that you & the rest of you shd have thought of this scheme – I hope the musical result did not altogether disappoint you.
I thought the audience was splendid in quality – very sympathetic & attentive – and determined to give the music the best possible chance.
Elwes & the players agreed that they had never performed to a better audience.
Yrs

R. Vaughan Williams

P.S. If there are any criticisms printed or otherwise (especially yours) adverse or the other way, will you let me see them – cd I also have a few programmes?

PPS Found out what A.Gray  thought1

PPPS When are you going to let Cambridge have an opportunity of hearing your music?
