Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Arnold Barter

Letter No.: VWL1920

The White Gates,
Dorking.

June 17 [?1944]

Dear Barter

I hear that Sibelius is now well supplied with necessaries but longs for cigars – I should so much like to send a present of some. Can you help me? Is it possible & what steps ought I to take.¹
I do hope you keep well and that the Philharmonic flourishes.
Yrs

R. Vaughan Williams
