In one set of two SIGNED letters from Harold E. Goad dated May 1922, the poet goes into detail about how he wants to change certain lines of his 'Spring's Sacrifice' poem as it had been published in 'The Oxford Book of English Mystical Verse' in its 'not quite finished form'. He then goes on to write which alterations he wishes to be made and asks Frederick Nicholls to make these changes as used in his musical version.
