THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

Dec 31 [1940]

Dearest Betty

What a lovely photograph – only I wish you had been in it as well!
I am glad to hear of your compositional activities.  I am very well & very busy – the ‘New Year’ meeting tomorrow – we c^d meet then.
I will try & do something for Iris – but between ourselves she is her own worst enemy – she has wonderful gifts – but from my experience does not know how to deal with people.¹ 
All love to you all

Uncle Ralph
