Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Fred E. Waelchli in Wyoming, Ohio, USA. Pendleton received word of Alena’s passing while he was in bed with the grippe. He remarks that he “could not but feel that in the good Providence of the Lord it was well so, for her condition seemed to be such as to forbid permanent recovery.” His heart goes out to Waelchli for his loss. While laid up in bed, Pendleton believes he asked Hugo to suggest that Waelchli stop in Bryn Athyn on his return from his next trip so that they can discuss plans for the future. Names mentioned: Alena (Hughes Waelchli), Hugo (Odhner)
