THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
S.W.

[October 1909]

 Dear Miss Charrington

I have written to M^r Schwiller – you can take it for granted that he can come unless I telephone or wire tomorrow morning.
You are working hard for the cause – I wish I c^d help you more – perhaps I can later on when this rush of work is over.  My numbers are only ideals to be aimed at – so I am sure we shall have a good gathering. 
It is quite true that we gave a very good show at the P.E. institute¹  – but that did not prevent most disturbing times at rehearsal when only about 5 people appeared sometimes!
The following need not be examined
Miss Fletcher
Miss Izard & the other good cello who played solo
Miss Fletcher & Miss Stack
– and any other professionals – if there are any who join us
Yrs very sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
