Scope and Contents

Handwritten letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Carl Theophilus Odhner. No Date. Pendleton informs Odhner that he will visit Bryn Athyn again shortly to attend the Consistory meeting. During his visit, he hopes to discuss aspects of Swedenborg’s scientific philosophy which have been on his mind. He writes, “In fact I am again up to my neck, if not deeper, in Swedenborg’s science. The occasion for this recent plunge is a certain startling proposition, concerning the nature of the Sun as described in the Principia, made to me just a few hours before my departure from Bryn Athyn in September. If I should begin to tell you all about it I should never get through. But there is a good time coming, soon I hope, when I can relieve my mind at your expense. Don’t run when you see me; for if I do not interest you the hat(?)/lot(?) is yours at my expense. – not to mention the drinks.” Names mentioned: Mrs. (Marie Louise Xandry) Odhner
