Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Homer Synnestvedt in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Pendleton has received Synnestvedt’s letter of Sept. 23rd. Pendleton confirms with Synnestvedt that the Pittsburgh Assembly meetings will begin on Friday, Oct. 13th. Pendleton will plan to depart Pittsburgh for the Chicago assembly on the 18th. Pendleton reports that the Academy opened “in better form than ever before.” Some have attribute this to the fact that scholars arrived a day early this year, but Pendleton thinks it is because “last year’s discipline is now producing beneficial results.”
