THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,

Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[13 July 1939]

Dear Maud
I am going to risk getting my nose bitten off. But don’t you think you ought to undertake the editorship of the Journal – & use all your knowledge & skill still for the F.S.?¹
This w^d have nothing to do with the general policy of the EFDS² – it stands outside it & I hope always will as a relic of the old F.S.S.³ days
No one knows I am writing to you about this
Love from
RVW
