Was pleased to see notice regarding Rootham in 'The Times'. Reminisces about Cambridge, St John's and Rootham. Has copies of Rootham's 'Out of the deep', 'In the Highlands', 'Angel spirits of sleep', 'The meadows in spring', and 'The stolen child'. Would be glad to give them to St John's. Also offers cutting from the 'Radio Times' regarding the performance of Rootham's Second Symphony in 1939. Discusses ways in which Rootham was a pioneer. Mentions George Guest. Mentions 1922 cartoon satirising Rootham.
