THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking.

[30th April 1944]

Dear Peterkin

Many thanks for all the trouble you have taken re Richard II.  I sent the score 2 days ago – but I understand that the performance has been postponed to the autumn – so I suppose I shall not get my money till then!¹
The “Hymn of Praise” arrived safely – Many thanks²
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
