THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

[31 January 1925]

Wd it be a good plan to have my proposal circulated to C^tee before meeting – any way I shall propose it thus
“That the artistic direction shall be vested by the C^tee in
Dr R.V.W.
Miss M.K.¹
Mr D.K.²
who shall each have the title of “artistic director” & shall have equal power in artistic control of the society³
That Miss M.K.’s name appear twice in the list of officials 1^st as co-artistic director 2^dly as Hon. Sec.”
“That this order of the c^tee be promulgated to the society in a special memorandum”

P.S. I gave you the date of Steuart’s concert wrong – it is Friday March 27⁴

1. Maud Karpeles
2. Douglas Kennedy
3. The English Folk Dance Society.  It appears that after the death of Cecil Sharp in 1924 there was a need to clarify roles in the Society.
4. Steuart Wilson
