THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

The White Gates,
Dorking, SURREY.

27th December, 1950.

Dear Page

I shall be delighted for you to play my “Fantasia”.  I only wish I could hear you.
I think I prefer you to do the two-pianoforte version of the “Concerto” which has a lot in it which is necessarily not in the one pianoforte version.
I have succumbed to the wiles of Mrs. Page and have agreed to give her a sitting, as doubtless she has already told you.¹
R. Vaughan Williams

London, W.11.

1. Evelyn Page was an artist and portrait painter. VW was presumably writing about prospective performances in New Zealand, despite Mrs Page’s (presumably temporary) presence in England.
