Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Ralph Wedgwood
Letter No.: VWL1943
The White Gates,
Dorking.
Aug 3 [1945]
Dear Randolph
1) I am sorry you cannot come & tell F.U. what you think of them, but I quite understand.1
2) I am so sorry I made a muddle about the portrait of Tom Wedgwood & the Nat Trust. I thought all the Museum things went together – & this was hanging on the wall – But I have put it all right with the Nat Trust now.2
3) Give my love to Iris3 & tell her that the things have safely arrived & she shall have her [xxxx?] back as soon as we can get them unpacked
Yours
Ralph

2. VW had given his mother’s home. Leith Hill Place, to the National Trust with some of its contents. Wedgwood was the tenant of the property.
3. Wedgwood’s wife Iris.
