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...

F. Pendleton has read Synnestvedt’s letter concerning Mrs. Reedy attending Convention services to Bishop Pendleton.
