THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[ca 1935]

Dear Schwiller
I was at “Friederike” the other night & saw you in the distance – I came round to the stage door in the interval but you were not to be found.
You have been so very kind in helping my lame ducks that I do not like to bother you again.  But would you give an audition to a violinist – very good I think – she has been doing cafe ^& cinema work up till now, but is now like many others up a tree, & thinks she might get some deputising.
If you w^d do this you write direct to her
Miss Mimi Brennand
27 St Stephens Square
Bayswater W.2.
Of course the fee for the audition will be my affair – if you w^d kindly let me know what it will be.
Are you free on March 24^th – when we do Matt: Pass in the New Dorking Halls – Formal engagement will go on later – but I do hope you can come.
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
