Handwritten letter from N.D. Pendleton to Bishop William F. Pendleton. Pendleton is preparing for his ordination at the upcoming District Assembly. He will have his declaration of principles ready, and he has been given a robe and stole by Mrs. Bostock. Pendleton hopes both Alfred (Acton) and Homer (Synnestvedt) will be present. Although the Philosophy Club has recently depleted its budget with contributions to the Society’s building operations, they hope to raise enough money to bring in one minister for an address. Pendleton favors Acton for the address as Homer was chosen just two years ago. Pendleton has written Will (Caldwell?), asking him to be present for the Assembly if possible; Bob (Caldwell?) says he will try to arrange for this. The Society is also hoping to hold a general reception and social on the Monday of the Assembly. Names mentioned: Mrs. (Mary Elizabeth Junge) Bostock, Mr. (Edward Crary) Bostock, Alfred (Acton), Homer (Synnestvedt), Bob (Robert Beebe Caldwell?), Will (Will Caldwell?)
