THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

[Dec 14th? '40]

My Dear

Here is the Ab: Chron:¹ – They might have spelt your name right!
I thought of writing the editor and saying “I am glad, dear Miss Sprig, that you have put Ursula Wood’s alongside of Max Birnbaum and Robert Trevillian”² but I decided not to.
I loved having your letter today – all war work is dull my dear except at moments.
Love from

RVW
