Description

4to. 1 page. To the musician Frederick Allan Wilshire (1868-1944) with thanks for an invitation, but politely having to decline it: "Thank you very much for Your kind invitation. But I fear it is doubtful if I can come to Bristol even for the performance [.] November is a very busy month for me I am so sorry [.]". - From the 1930s until the early 1950s Vaughan Williams lived in Dorking and was an initiator of the "Dorking and District Refugee Committee", providing music for the Abinger Pageant to raise funds for Abinger church. He facilitated the entire community, rich or poor, to access the highest quality music. - With embossed letterhead.
