Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to Herbert Byard
Letter No.: VWL2653
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
1. A reference to not using a harpsichord or baroque organ for the continuo part. Byard apparently accepted VW’s invitation to listen to the Passion in Dorking; see VWL2669.
