Scope and content

The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Does not know whether this [enclosure] will appeal; thinks it should be 'very interesting if all the nations really combine to send dancing teams'; believes seven teams are coming from Russia [perhaps a reference to the International Folk Dance Festival, held in London in July 1935].

      Note

      The Letters of Ralph Vaughan Williams project suggests the date of this letter to be 1933, referring to the National Folk Dance Festival of January 1934; this however was for English folk dance only, so the International Folk Dance Festival of the following year is a more likely candidate.
