Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Eldred Edward Iungerich in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Pendleton states that Iungerich would probably find an argument with Theo (Pitcairn) very intriguing. He writes that there has not yet been an open break in the Church away from Pfeiffer and his followers. He has just returned from meetings in Toronto and Kitchener where the "Pfeiffer doctrines" were discussed. As far as he could discern, Pfeiffer’s ideas were not looked upon favorably.
