Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to John Wilson
Letter No.: VWL4663
10 Hanover Terrace NW1.
December 7th [1957]
It is more than 50 years since I did the E.H.1 & I fear I cannot remember whether it was I, or one of my assistants who wrote that chord2 – or whether I got it from some other arrangement.
With all Xmas greetings
R Vaughan Williams
1. The English Hymnal.
2. Wilson had apparently written to ask about the 5th chord in Adeste Fideles in The English Hymnal, according to a note on the postcard from the recipient.
