THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates

April 24 [1942]

Dear Miss Piper
Owing to illness of Mr Cave[?], “Rossendale” is unable to undertake fire watching. I therefore must ask you and your sister to take over one of their days. I have put you down for Sunday June 21. Please do not answer if this is all right
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams

PS. The stirrup pump squad on the day would be BATUMERAH¹

1. Rossendale and Batumerah were local homes. VW was responsible for organising firewatching in his area during the war.
