Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Gerald Finzi
Letter No.: VWL2097
[18th September 1946]
My Dear Gerald & Joyce & all my friends on the postcard (I feel sure all the young women whose names are signed & whom I don’t know are as pretty as those I do)
so thank you all – but I am glad I was not there as if I had been I shd have had to conduct my tune1 myself – & that performance under G.D.2 which everyone (you included) says was so fine wd not have come off
