THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

[July 1939]

Dear Mr Thompson

I am asking Dr Hull of Hereford¹ to send you a copy of the notes I have written for them
Please note title
Five variants of “Dives and Lazarus”²
The “ ” (inverted commas) are important as they are the title of the tune from which the variants are derived.
Yrs sincerely

R Vaughan Williams
