THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Sunday [1937?]

Dear McCleary
I met your Mr Hermann at Q. Hall¹ & have asked him to lunch at the RCM² – I hope he will be able to come.
It is very sad your having left our neighbourhood – come back again soon – in spite of the attraction of the Bechstein
Our best wishes to you both
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
