Portée et contenu
The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking. - Good of Bessy to write; values her opinion 'very much (not only when favourable!'. Got to like [his 4th Symphony] himself by the end; the 'first rehearsal was unimaginable chaos' but the orchestra and Adrian [Boult] 'worked like Trojans'. Glad that Bessy is well enough to go home tomorrow, and hopes she is 'really better'; she must have had a 'trying time'

Note
Pencil annotation dating the letter '1935'; the editors of the 'Letters of Vaughan Williams' project suggest that April is more likely, since the 4th Symphony was performed on 10 April, but Bessie did not go into a nursing home for an eye operation until May.
