THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

[About March 1942]

Dear Michael

I am going to ask for your advice and help
Boosey propose to bring out a revised edition of “Wenlock Edge”- Would you make some suggestions for improving the p^fte parts
I know we can’t make a really good show of rewriting it – but we might do a little tinkering.
There are two places already marked, one on page 32 (letter E) which seems to me good.  What do you think?  The other on page 38 (at piu lento) which was my original revision but I was told it was unplayable – now I don’t think it is! 
Any other suggestions w^d be gratefully received.¹
My love to Mary
