Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton appreciated Tilson’s letter of August 10th with enclosed address and news of the 17th British Assembly. He congratulates Tilson on the success of the assembly and comments, “As you know, I am not unaware of the difficulties involved in the state of the Church in England, and especially those which confront you and Mr. Gyllenhaal in your endeavor to bring about a united General Church.” Pendleton also enjoyed reading Tison’s straightforward assembly address. Pendleton appreciates Tilson’s confidential advice regarding Gyllenhaal and Bjorck; He comments, “It is obvious that Mr. Gyllenhaal has been exceeding his strength, and that a let-down is imperative. . . As to Mr. Bjorck I was taken quite by surprise on learning that he would not be able to go on with his work.” Pendleton hopes Bjorck’s trip Spain following the automobile accident will prove restorative. In Bryn Athyn, they are busy preparing for school opening. The schools will be slightly smaller this year, but Pendleton hopes this will result in greater efficiency. Names mentioned: Mr. (Fred) Gyllenhaal, Mr. (Albert) Bjorck, Mrs. Tilson
