THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

May 28 [1946]

Dear Hely Hutchinson

The enclosed is the result of an interview with Mr George Brown at the Ministry of Labour – would you sign?¹
He says that some distinguished names will help.  I ought to add however that Dyson & Marchant though not disapproving want to go to work in their own way²
Please return to me
Yrs

R Vaughan Williams

1.  Probably a reference to the gathering of signatures in support for the release of interned alien musicians.  No enclosure exists with the letter.
