THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

Jan 30th 1956

Dear Roy,
We have to go up to Manchester on an early train on Feb 6th as Ralph is taking a rehearsal of the Passion¹ at 6.30, & perhaps the boys Ripieno, at 4.30. So, if you find yourself alone on Monday evening, please dine at your leisure, & give our room number, which I will leave, in a note for you.
We look forward, rather tremulously, to the 7th.²
Yrs
Ursula
