The White Gates,

Dorking.
August 2nd [1931]
Dear Sir
If I had known you were requiring the piano copy of my “Job”1 so soon I would not have asked for it back. I am afraid I cannot let you have the full score till after the Gloucester Festival.2
I can send you the piano score if you still want it.
I understood from Dr Boult that he wished to conduct the B.B.C performance himself. Is this so? Otherwise I should prefer to conduct it myself.
Yours faithfully
R Vaughan Williams
