Letter from Ralph Vaughan Williams to William McKie
Letter No.: VWL4954
From R. Vaughan Williams,
The White Gates,
Westcott Road,
Dorking
Feb 21 [1947]
Dear Dr McKie
I don’t think I can do a Justorum1 – I can’t do “pieces d’occasion” – Would the enclosed be any use (I admit that is was a “piece d’occasion” (for George R.V.2))
Yrs sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
