THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking.

February 15th 1953.

Dear Mr Byard,
In spite of what you say I must send you both a line of thanks.  I suppose there is no hope of your coming to Dorking on March 14th to hear Passion without plops?¹
Yrs sincerely

R. Vaughan Williams
