THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

10 Barton St
Westminster

[1901?]

Dear Moore,

The place is the George Hotel, Birdlip, Gloucestershire

[Railways marked thus        
Road thus – – – –

There is no actual ‘common’ strictly speaking – but there are some beautiful woods (Cranham Woods) where one can wander at will and the tops of the hills are open and part of downy country. Also the field paths are delightful and there is nothing to prevent you wandering off them.
If you think of going to the New Forest I should advise you to write to
M^rs Morgan
Oakrest
Burley
Hants¹

Yours

R.V.W.

*Don’t be put off by the name.
