THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,

Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Dec 13 [1940]

Dear Dent

We recommended Gellhorn¹ for release about 3 weeks ago. I have written to tell him so – But I do not in the least know whether any attention is paid to our recommendations – I am so sorry you have been ill again.
