THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking,
Surrey.

2nd. July, 1952.

Dear Mr. Wilson,
It will give me great pleasure to be present in the Chapel on July 13th. Please thank the Headmaster very much for his kind invitation to supper, but as the programme will be over fairly early and I only have a short journey, I think I had better get home.
Would it be possible for me to have a ticket for a friend for the performance in the Chapel?
As regards the Coronation Te Deum it was written specially for the Coronation of King George VI. As regards the names of the traditional themes, I think it is better to keep those secret, as the titles of them might cause some misunderstanding!
Yours sincerely,
R Vaughan Williams
