THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road, 
Dorking.

[1936]

Dear Maud
Thankyou very much for your letter – you shall have a score when it comes out so that you can obey your young friends advice . A superb performance – I heard it over the air.
I had a talk with Lady Ampthill¹ about the B.A.C.² – I think she is seeing you about it. I think the idea of enlarging the B.A.C. is a good one – so that younger people can be trained up to act when we depart.
– I think the BAC is useful & don’t want to see it go – but its chief use to my mind is that M.K.³ gets thereby a say in the destinies of the EFDJ⁴ – so that if you  resign I go also
Could you lunch with me before the meeting – I have to be at OUP⁵ till one – but we c^d meet somewhere after that
Yrs
