Fr Riley put the questions the Bishop required asking to Robert Farr. Provides details from the answers: first marriage; second marriage (to Ada Louise Fret, described as "average intelligence, respectable, of poor surroundings formerly, but good moral character"); baptised? (mother relates that it was a standing joke that the clergyman sometimes used water, sometimes not - so case is back to its old state). Fr Riley did not let on that he, and the Bishop, knew Farr had written to the Pope.

Fr Riley describes the current situation that the Farrs find themselves in. He considers that both would be good Catholics if these circumstances were not so. They both attend Mass and Benediction regularly. The nature of Farr's baptism gives cause for concern since Farr cannot provide evidence one way or another.
