Dear Mr Bates
Mr Reach one of our B.C.¹ professional tenors has a nice voice & is a good reader
Also Mr Isbister
I know of no amateur tenors who w^d be up to the mark
I am so glad […]²  Montgomery is proving useful
Yours sincerely
R Vaughan Williams
 

P.S. as my writing is so bad I will print the name REACH ISBISTER

1. Bach Choir, which VW conducted at this time. Bates conducted the Tudor Singers and presumably had asked VW for recommendations.
2. Name indecipherable
