Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Gustaf Baeckström in Stockholm, Sweden. Pendleton acknowledges Baeckstrom’s letter of Oct. 22nd and enclosed baptismal records of two girls from the Sunday school. Pendleton tells Baeckstrom about their night at Mrs. Cappenter’s; It was "a delightful gathering in memory of our visit to Sweden, everything served after the Swedish manner in so far as possible. There were frequent “skoals” so you can imagine we had a good time.” Pendleton may travel to the Rio de Janeiro society next summer to officially ordain three men who have been authorized to perform the sacraments. Pendleton thinks it will be an interesting trip as he has never been to South America, but he is not looking forward to 6 weeks at sea. Tore (Loven) is doing well at the Academy, but Pendleton is concerned that he is by himself most of the time and wishes he had more companionship with the other boys. In Bryn Athyn, they have had their first snow of the season, bringing thoughts of Christmas.
