THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Feb 21 [1947]

Dear Dr McKie
I don’t think I can do a Justorum¹ – I can’t do “pieces d’occasion” – Would the enclosed be any use (I admit that is was a “piece d’occasion” (for George R.V.²))
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams

1. McKie had asked if VW would write an anthem for dedication of the Battle of Britain chapel at Westminster Abbey. VW eventually agreed; see further in VWL4955-VWL4959.
2. i.e. King George V. The enclosure is not present.
