Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. John Headsten in Chicago, IL, USA. Pendleton has received Headsten’s answer to the charges made against him (Headsten) by Mr. (E.H.) Alden of the Convention Church regarding Headsten’s missionary activities. Pendleton believes Convention’s inquiry has “stirred up more than they expected.” Pendleton thinks that perhaps this attack on Headsten’s work is part of a “general assault upon our missionary work.” Convention is also displeased with Mr. (Frederick?) Waelchli’s missionary activities in the North West, and Pendleton thinks they may have been further alarmed by Mr. Waelchli’s transfer to Cincinnati.
