From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,

Dorking.
[mid 1930s]
Dear Maud
The tune is a well known type – isn’t it – but not too bad and “genuine”.
I’ve written to Mrs Jenkins1 saying that I am surprized that such a very controversial question as the re-collection of tunes was not on the agenda & that I propose to bring the matter up on Oct 13th
