[1940s?]
Dear K.
I should like to help you all I can – could we wait till the beginning of December when I shall be up in London for Worcester Fest: rehearsals.
Your programmes sound most attractive – I am sure there are a lot of 1st rate fiddlers about who are not in the ordinary orchestras – especially women.
I mention a few names in case you don’t know them
Violin – Ruth Pearl, – Palmer,
May Hope, Miss Brennaud [Brennard?]
Viola V. Gotch, Margaret Ludwig
Jean Stewart
Cello Olive Richards, Betty Moir
– Do come to the Worcester reh: & we can talk then.
Love from
Uncle Ralph
