THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

31 Mount St
Dorking

[1915]

Dear Madam
 I have had much pleasure in signing your book.
Unfortunately I have to leave my billet tomorrow – but I have asked my landlady Mrs Furnell to keep the book and if you would kindly call for it when you are next in Dorking she will give it to you¹
Yours truly
Ralph Vaughan Williams
