Letter No.: VWL1351
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.
[August 1935?]
Dear Boughton
I think you are wrong and my guarantee was £15 which I enclose accordingly
I suppose you cd not in future consider an amateur orchestra with professional strengthening
I do think the Musicians Union are cutting their own throats1
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams
1. It appears that VW was offering financial support for a performance, possibly for the Bath Festival which Boughton was promoting; see also VWL1279.
