Handwritten letter from E. Westervelt in Philadelphia to John Pitcairn Jr. Westervelt has received J. Pitcairn’s renewed invitation to visit Renovo, but unfortunately his poor health prevents him from leaving the city. He has not heard from his nephew since he last wrote to Pitcairn and so assumes he has made some other arrangement. Westervelt reports on a recent meeting of the three Philadelphia societies at the Broad Street Church “to institute measures for encouraging friendly intercourse and cooperation in Christian uses, and if possible to effect a union of the societies into one body.” A committee was appointed to accomplish this goal, and although Westervelt is not hopeful, he trusts they will “make a platform broad enough for all to stand on.” Places mentioned: Renovo, Broad Street Church
