ff. 1-28. 21 letters and cards from Ursula Vaughan Williams to Porter Kier, with some addressed to 'Porter and Mary'. Most discuss performances of, and books relating to, the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, as well as personal travel plans and Ursula's appearance on WETA radio, Washington, in 1989.
