Scope and content
The White Gates, Westcott Road, Dorking, Surrey. - Very glad that 'things are progressing with regards to the books' [the purchase of Robert Trevelyan's books by London University, for which Vaughan Williams had started a subscription list]. Sorry he could not hear the Röntgen Quartet, but could not get to London that night. Explains that the "Sinfonia Antarctica" [original spelling] gets its name as it is derived from something he wrote for the film "Scott of the Antarctic".
