THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
Surrey.

1st October 1952

Dear Bessy

Thank you for your letter and the notice of the Röntgen concert.¹
Humphrey Searle is one of the “wrong note” young men, whose music I do not understand, but he is well thought of by many people.
About tickets for the 11th. I asked Miss Cullen² and I fear she has absolutely nothing left. I am so sorry about this.
Yrs
