Songs for recorder (words and music) composed by Miles Tomalin and sent to his son-in-law Hugh Heatherwick esq.

Songs for recorder (words and music on separate sheets) composed by Miles Tomalin and sent to his son-in-law Hugh Heatherwick. The song titles are as follows:
It's Habit, That's All
The Ratcatcher
Spinning Song
Hip Hooray!
It's All in the Stars
A Child's Lullaby
The Gates of Peace

Enclosed is a letter from Tomalin to Heatherwick, which reads: 'Dear Hugh, Here are the songs I mentioned to you. I doubt there's much that will suit your purposes, but if you know of any purposes they might suit, please do with them what you will. I sent this batch to Steve Benbow last summer, but I don't think he has done anything with them. Give my love to the Tiddler bold, likewise to your son and heir. Regards, Miles.'
