1. In support of a memorial room for Gustav Holst at Morley College; see VLW5300. The Bishop had replied to VW’s initial request on 4th February, 1935 (see Lambeth Palace Library, LPL Bell 208 f. 219):
Dear Dr. Vaughan Williams,
I am delighted to hear about the “Holst Music Room” at Morley College, and shall be most happy to be one of the supporters.
Yours very sincerely
