THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

[April 1910]

Dear Dent

I enclose copy of S. Lad¹ with words as I want them.
Claribel is the Tennyson
I send a copy of “The Sky” for words²
I don’t see why you sh^d bother about putting up the players – it w^d rather bore your friends to have to entertain orchestral players wdnt it? I sh^d think they cd find their way to some little pub cdnt they –  but of course its not for me to put them off a good thing!
They are going to rehearse at Cambridge in the afternoon.
Yrs
