Has received the cheque and paid Mr Bardell. Mr & Mrs Wilkin will be please to receive the bishop when he comes to Lynn. Not at the Royal Christening [of future King Edward VIII] probably due to the Prince being disappointed over the church. The Prince had said Fr Wrigglesworth should appeal to Rome.

Cannot form an estimate of income from the visitors during the season, therefore will ask Canon Ashmole for an application form for the Poor Mission fund soon. Costs of furnishing, repairing and decorating the presbytery were high; the nuns only advanced half his last quarter salary; getting the workmen our the house (fourteen of them) was an issue. No problem with putting the chapel on the garden in fact he might be able to get an additional strip of land as a gift. After his return from Paris, Fr Delaney hopes to do great things with building fund and maintenance fund. Would like to get building soon since it is difficult to accommodate the existing congregation without including visitors. Numbers are increasing 3 recantations in both Aldeburgh and Leiston; four ready for full baptism; three babies for baptism.

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.

Part of Our Lady of Good Counsel and St Peter Parish, March

Fr Lydiate needs to take care when considering that a fostered child is a Catholic - foster parents, birth mother and authorities all need to be consulted. Beware the March Clerk who is a bit awkward. Fr Hardwick at Shetford deals with such cases if you need to contact Catholic Child Protection Society to intervene or remove the child (it). p.s. has Fr Flanagan taken his furniture yet?
