THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

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

November 10th 1952.

Dear Buckland,
I listened in to Pieta last night and liked it. It seems to me that you have acquired more power of saying what you want to say.¹
I do not quite understand what you are doing about Morris dancing, but I gather you have not quite given it up.
Yrs
R Vaughan Williams

1. Buckland’s Pieta, for strings, Op.1 No.1, was played by the Harvey Phillips String Orchestra as part of a concert beginning at 7.50 pm on the Third Programme.
