From R. Vaughan Williams,

Regents Park, 
London, N.W.1.

March 3rd, 1957.

Dear Mr Vignal,
Thank you, and all your co-signatories for your very kind and appreciative letter.¹ It always i[n]terests me to hear your reactions to mine, and other composer’s² music  – so and do not hesitate to quote unfavourable criticisms. “Woe be unto you when all men speak well of you.”
Yours sincerely,
R Vaughan Williams
