March 9 [1935]
Dear Mrs Western
I am sending your list to Dr Davison.1 I will approach the Secretary of the R.C.M. Union about enclosing leaflets with their annual report –
Perhaps you have already done so but would it be a good plan to send a copy of our leaflet to each of our supporters and telling them they can have as many more as they like & you hope they may help us etc.
Mr. Forty’s address is
Gerald Forty2

and Dr Davison’s

Mass – U.S.A.
Yours sincerely
R. Vaughan Williams
1. Archibald Davison.
2. Son of Frank Forty, the dedicatee of Gustav Holst’s Lied ohne Worte, H51.
