THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

Oct 18 [1935]

Dear Mrs  Western

We shall have to be move carefully with Davison – He is quite right in saying that we do not want American publicity methods.¹
McKenzie is a good man but a bit of a vulgarian (between 4 walls!)
I sh^d feel inclined to write to Davison & emphasize that we do not want American ‘publicity’ in this – but if he c^d devise anything short of this we sh^d be very grateful.
My own feeling is that we are so near our £1600² that we can do without “boosting”
Yrs very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
