CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Miss Glasgow,

I understand that the Arts Council are soon to be asked for financial support to a scheme at Cambridge in which I am personally interested.¹
That being so, I think it is imperative that I should retire from the Council. Anyhow, I am getting old and lazy and find it very difficult to attend meetings.
Yours sincerely,

R. Vaughan Williams

Miss Glasgow,
Secretary General,
