TLS signed “R. Vaughan Williams,” one page, 4.5 x 6.75, December 27, 1951. Letter to the Rev. W. Turner Levy, in part: "I am so glad you are including the Bible in your lecture of world literature. As you may know, there is a terrible move going on to propagate a new translation of the Bible and actually one (I am sorry to say) ecclesiastic, Monseigneur Knox, has had the impertinence to make a new version of 'The Song of Solomon' in the worst Wardour Street style, and it was actually broadcast. Apart from any other reason if we lose our basis of Bible language we shall lose what is most valuable in our language." In very good to fine condition, with paper loss, and some thin paper, to the upper right corner. Accompanied by an unsigned matte-finish portrait of the composer.
