Dorking.

3rd July, 1947

Dear Irving,

Thank you very much for your letter about Stanley Bate.¹
As regards the Scott film,² I think before finally deciding, I should like to have a conference with you and the producer, or director,³ whichever it is – I never know which is which – and see whether your his and my ideas agree as to the sort of music required. I have very definite ideas and if they do not agree with his, it might be rather difficult.
Yours sincerely

R Vaughan Williams
