Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Theodore Pitcairn in Durban, Natal, S.A.
Pendleton hopes Pitcairn’s recent heart trouble will turn out to be nothing more than a result of indigestion. He suggests that the meat-heavy diet in Maseru may be partially to blame for Pitcairn’s condition. Pendleton remembers fondly his stay with the Ridgways at their Essenwood Road home; He was with them for several weeks, recovering from an “unaccountable systemic disturbance.” He writes, “My doctor now...

Pendleton wonders if Pitcairn might assist with the Durban Society during the interval between Fred Gyllenhaal’s departure for England and Hugo Odhner’s arrival in South Africa. Pendleton remarks that the Church’s activities in Basutoland remain uncertain. He hopes things will soon settle down, but this greatly depends on whether or not the Conference Church decides to withdraw their presence. Karl (Alden) has...

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Theodore Pitcairn in Durban, Natal, S.A.
Pendleton thanks Pitcairn for his last two letters. He is glad Pitcairn has not been discouraged by setbacks to the General Church’s South African Mission; He writes, “That we should win out against Conference is gratifying for more reasons than one. That with us in possession better and more permanent work will be done goes without saying, but Conference deserves defeat, if for no other reason than because of...

Pendleton responds to Pitcairn’s letter of Oct. 5th. He has yet to hear from the Brabys regarding Viola (Heath?) and their search for a governess in Durban. Pendleton has heard that Kenneth and Doris Ridgway will soon depart for Bryn Athyn to attend school at the Academy. Pendleton has received word from Mr. Brown that he fully intends returning to teach at the Academy next year. Some think it...

Pendleton has just arrived back in Bryn Athyn. He remarks that the school is larger than ever this year, and he hopes it will continue growing. He is sorry to hear there has been a falling out with Rev. Mofokeng, and he asks Pitcairn if Mofokeng’s name should be dropped from the roll of General Church ministers.

Pendleton has received Pitcairn’s letter of Dec. 2nd. He is relieved that Pitcairn agrees with him on “the marriage question.” He states, “The spiritual law is absolute, Christianity and polygamy cannot be mixed, and no New Church minister should knowingly baptize any one known to be living with more than one woman.” Pendleton would also like to insist on a Christian marriage ceremony, but he does not know...

Pendleton received Pitcairn’s letter of Dec. 27th in time for it to be read aloud at the ministers’ council. Pendleton looks forward to Pitcairn’s visit in June; He writes, “I wish you had a flying machine for the return journey. However, for myself, I lack ambition in that respect.” In the Academy schools, the recent expulsion of two college men and probation of three high school boys has helped with...

Pendleton relays the news that Gerald Pitcairn has just passed away. He had been ill for some time, presumably with influenza, but neither the family nor the doctor thought it very serious until shortly before his death. It now seems that he died from an abscess on the brain. Pendleton has just seen Clio (Gerald’s wife) and Mrs. Glenn (Gerald’s mother). He remarks, “Naturally the situation, with all...

Pendleton encloses the authorization Pitcairn requested. Pendleton was glad to learn that the new building near Qhuqhu has been completed and is now in use for services. He asks whether Jonas Mphatse formally officiates at or near Qhuqhu, and he inquires what has become of Rev. Mofokeng. Pendleton comments that it looks as if Pitcairn’s day school at Alpha might “grow out of hand,” and he wonders how...
