Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to George M. Trevelyan

Letter No.: VWL4909

From R. Vaughan Williams,
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

February 15th 1956

Dear George,

I think it may amuse you to have a copy of my opera¹ which you can glance at from time to time when nothing more serious intervenes. I have marked the copy showing what we do and what we leave out.
We must try and meet while we are in Cambridge.
Yrs
