Letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Victor J. Gladish, 1929-05-01
Scope and Contents
Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev Victor J. Gladish in Colchester, England. Pendleton discusses the difficulties faced by Gladish in maintaining a New Church school in Colchester; He writes that “outsiders” should only be admitted for the purpose of maintaining the school, but that if maintaining the school becomes the primary objective, the New Church element in the school will soon vanish. Regarding the matter of Colchester increasing its proportion of financial support for the pastor, Pendleton advises that the laymen should take the initiative in financial matters, but the Pastor may inspire them to take action. Pendleton writes that Phillis (Cooper?) will continue her education in Bryn Athyn next year, assisting part time in the kindergarten. Pendleton informs Gladish that although he will be traveling in Europe over the summer, his plans are uncertain, and he will not be able to attend the British Assembly. Names mentioned: Phillis (Cooper?), Lucy (Gladish), Louise (Gladish?)
