Identifier: Sub-Series 1
Scope and Contents
Handwritten letter from Benjamin F. Glenn at 236 South 8th Steet, Philadelphia to his wife, Mary Aitken Glenn I.
B. F. Glenn has received a telegram from their son Robert telling him not to come down because the mosquitoes are too bad.

Handwritten letter from Dr. George R. Starkey in Washington, D.C. to his wife, Caira Skelton Starkey.
Mr. Pendleton agreed with Starkey that reading should be attended to. Starkey sent a letter via Daniel to Mr. Arther on Friday as soon as he decided not to come home. If Mr. Arthur was in the office as usual, it would have been practicable to reach Mr. Campbell or someone else. Starkey is chagrined at the way matters transpired, but thinks it is “much sadder that the people should allow...

Handwritten letter from Gertrude Starkey Pitcairn to her father, Dr. George R. Starkey. “S” seal pressed into top center of the page.
Gertrude misses her father greatly and wishes he could come home permanently.

There was a “state of grave discouragement” at W.F.P.’s suggestion not to hold an Assembly in the coming year, as many felt that the Church would soon grow too large for Pittsburgh to host. The council began...
