THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk

[?July 1907]

My Dear Florence
I am sending you a copy of my thing which is to be done at Leeds.¹ I have put your initials over it – I was finishing it at Los Frailes² – I didn’t ask you leave. So I hope you won’t mind. I hope you will like the words.  I also want to give you the manuscript of it if I may – but it has not come back yet so I must wait a few days.
I was glad to hear you had a good first day at the new house.
Yrs
Ralph
