THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
Surrey.

19th July 1950

Dear Gil¹
(if I may return the compliment)

Thank you very much for your letter. Of course the play by itself is so moving I do not really know whether music does anything to it or not, but I am glad you thought so.
I value your criticism and opinion very much.²
Yrs

Sir Gilmour Jenkins,
