Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Maud Karpeles
Letter No.: VWL4798
[1927?]
Dear Maud
Don’t you worry about those arrangements – I shall think them over – & if I like them they shall go through – but perhaps I don’t!
I shd like M. Mullinar1 for the singing – but if Mrs Kettlewell2 wants to do it let her.
I spoke to Colonel Somerville (late commandant of Kneller Hall) about M.B. for the C.D.3 party & he says he will fix it all up – H says he thinks the minimum band must be 25 & will cost about £30-0-0 – but will you write to him explaining exactly what we want & the amt we cd pay
