Dear Herbert
I think you have had the letter of which the enclosed is a copy. I do hope you can come – Askew is doing splendid work in Surrey – but and some words of wisdom from you wd stimulate us much.1

1. Norman Askew ran the Surrey Summer School for young musicians. See RVW: a biography, p.324. The timing is a little curious, since the 1948 Summer School had concluded on 6 September – VW and Adrian Boult both visited and spoke to students once in each week. Possibly Howells was being invited to a planning meeting for 1949.
