THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk
Chelsea, S.W.

May 14th 1914

Dear Miss Lasker¹

Many thanks for your letter – if you come to the Polytechnic I should like to arrange if possible for you to take the advanced at all events and for any you had not time for must be given to someone else.² Have you any one who could work under you & could prepare elementary pupils – to come, eventually, under you – If you have no one I was thinking of suggesting Mr Coles to the C^tee for elementary – do you know him?³
Of course if possible I should like you to undertake the whole – but I do not at all want to take you away from Morley College.  I will do nothing to interfere with V. H’s⁴  work there – & have told my people so plainly.
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
