From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking

October 14th 1952.

What a beautiful present.  It  stands on my mantlepiece at this moment. 
It was nice to get that glimpse of you both, I wish it had been more, that is the worst of these large parties, one has no time to see anybody properly.1  
All love

Uncle Ralph
