THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

[8 April 1941]

My Dear

What a lovely poem – I will wait till the last minute for a fine day (Middeton’s advice).¹
But today I dropped 400 potatoes into holes under directions of the gardener – & shall do the rest tomorrow.
I actually listened in to part II of Matt: Pass² yesterday afternoon!
Love from

RVW
