The Erie Society has proposed a plan for inviting Pendleton to hold Sunday worship in Erie four times per year.

Handwritten letter from N.D. Pendleton to Bishop William F. Pendleton.
Pendleton met with his committee last night about a potential trip south. The committee was unanimously against it. They feel he has been absent too much over the past year with his regular trips to Erie, and this has been “injurious” to the Society. Pendleton states, “I left the meeting feeling that there was nothing to do but to give up the Erie work, and I place my resignation in your hands in the hope that you will be...

Pendleton will read aloud W.F.P.’s most recent letter at the next Committee meeting as presenting W.F.P.’s position may “bring about a change of sentiment.” At their last meeting, the Committee was unanimously against Pendleton leaving the pulpit for a southern trip.
