THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

October 6 [1935]

Dear Mrs  Western

I think the Canterbury suggestion is very good except that I suppose it will not materialize till next summer by which time I hope the fund¹ will be closed & operations at least in progress.²
I shall be very grateful if you will attend the BBC meeting.
As regards Miss Cohen I think if we can get the Tudor Singers it will be best and as I am their president they might be induced to come.³
As regards the Xmas magazine I suppose I must do what they want if I can think of anything – including a photograph.
I hope it is clear that some of the profits of this magazine will be definitely for our fund.  That must be stipulated before we contribute.
I return Captain Irving’s letter.⁴
Yours sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
