THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

Dear Mrs Stoeckel

Now we have left I must write once again to try & express all that your great hospitality meant to us at Norfolk¹ as well as the great honour I felt it to take part in your wonderful festival. We had a delightful time in Boston and a beautifully restful journey both to N. York & from there to Philadelphia. Now we are in a delightful quiet farm house surrounded by rolling hills which reminds me strongly of England. I can’t tell you how kind and thoughtful Mr Stoeckel² was to us on our expedition.
Thank you very much for forwarding the letters.
With best wishes from us both.
Yours very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
