Oct 13 [1955]

Dear Catharine

(If I may make so bold) – Thank you for remembering my birthday – & for the delightful book of folk-songs – I wish I c^d read Czech – Even the names of the instruments escape me. Klarinet I can guess at – but I wonder what Housle is?? – from the context I should judge oboe.¹
Please give my love to all yours & to my Clarions
Yrs

R. Vaughan Williams

1. Housle: the Czech violin.
