THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Sunday [13 July 1947]

Dear McKie
Thankyou all very much yourself, soloists & choir.
It came out very well over the wireless – quite as well as in the Abbey (by the way the Baritone solo came through quite strong)¹
Thankyou again
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams

1. VW’s anthem for the dedication of the Battle of Britain chapel at Westminster Abbey, The souls of the righteous. McKie was organist of the Abbey and had commissioned the work.
