THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

Nov 20 [1939]

Dear Miss McCleary

I know it is a bad moment to ask for help.
But the fact remains that here the refugees are, at our invitation – They cannot go home nor can they, as we had hoped, go on to the colonies.
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
