Dear Mr & Mrs McEwen
I must apologize for not having written before to thank you for your hospitality – I enjoyed every moment of my time at Ayr.
I have asked Stainer & Bell to send you copies of my organ preludes & pianoforte pieces which may amuse you to look at.
Yrs sincerely
R. Vaughan Williams
