THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[c. March 1935]

My Dear Dean
I’ve had several telephone conversations with the O.U. Press. Apparently they told your agents last week that the only copies of the wind parts were in use & not available – They are however trying to get the Trumpet & Drum parts from the B.B.C. (who want them Thursday) & copy before that day – I hope they will succeed.¹
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
