THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[1930]

Dear Grace
I think there is a chance of your getting another £50 – so will you write at once to the registrar (the Director is away) applying for an extension & enclosing a recommendation from Wellesz – so glad to hear about the suite & shall love to see it.¹
Dear Grace – go on writing me those nice letters they make me feel young – Angela Bull gave your address to a young man – did you meet him?²
Yrs Uncle Ralph
