October 11th 1953.

Dear Page,

Thank you so much for sending me the reproduction of your wife’s portrait of me. I am glad to hear Lilburne¹ continues to compose, I think he ought to do a string trio very well.
I am so sorry to hear you have been ill.
I did not know that Braithwaite² had been conducting in New Zealand. I think he is a very sound conductor.
My wife sends her kind regards to you both. When shall we see you once more in England?
Yours sincerely,

R Vaughan Williams
