From R. Vaughan Williams
10, Hanover Terrace,
Regents Park,
London, N.W.1.

March 21st [1957]

Dearest Joan,
We were only sorry to see your ravishingly lovely Jackie for so short a moment – she looks like a fairy princess, & wrote such a very dear letter.  Please thank her.
Ralph recovered from this in record time, & has been out & about all this week.  I went to Phedra on Monday, while he conducted madrigals – but then succumbed to a cold & retired to bed, & have just arisen.  We are going to hear the Passion¹ in German at St Bartholomews² on Saturday!
N news here, but very much love rom us both
Ursula.

1.  Either the John or Matthew Passion by Bach.
2.  St Bartholomew’s, Smithfield Market.
