Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Henry Leonardos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Pendleton sends Leonardos New Year’s greetings and acknowledges the receipt of his last letter. Pendleton notes that the absence of Rev. Lima means Leonardos will be the sole leader of the Church in Rio. Pendleton informs Leonardos that arrangements are being made for his son, Henry, to sail back to Rio. They will miss Henry at the Academy, but Pendleton understands that Henry is needed to assist Leonardos’ brother-in-law back home. Names mentioned: Rev. Joao de Mendonca Lima, Henry (Leonardos), Mrs. (Beatrice Walton Childs) Pendleton, Mrs. (Marietta) Leonardos
