[STAMPED ADDRESS] FROM PERCY GRAINGER 7 CROMWELL PLACE WHITE PLAINS N.Y. U.S.A.

Segeltorp, Sweden July 21, 1932

Dear friend Alexander Burnard,

Thanks ever so much for your last delightful letter. I would have replied before, but I have been terribly overworked of late.

I am delighted to know that you are married, & to a gifted musician with whom you have so many interests in common. My wife & I will greatly look forward to seeing you both when we next visit Australia, which we hope may be very soon, in about a year we hope.

I am delighted you worked with Vaughan Williams - what a lovable genius! We enjoyed his "Job" greatly at Oxford last summer. I remember with affection yr charming chamber work that you showed me in Adelaide - was it for voice & a few instruments, or just for instrs? I am delighted to hear of the prospect of yr L'Allegro & Shakspere Songs being published. Yes! Please do
