THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates
Dorking

[October 1946]

Dear Cooper
That is good news. – To save time & energy – I suggest that you get in touch with the pianists & we will all 4 meet somewhere where there are two pftes – would you get in touch with Phyllis & Cyril & fix up a date as early as possible – I am fairly free at present.¹
As regards the conductor I think all he will want will be the extra bit in the Finale which is not in the score – could you have an extra copy made of that?
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
