Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton has received Tilson’s letter of March 3rd. He is glad that Tilson has enjoyed working with Gladish so far; Pendleton felt Gladish would be the right man for the job despite his youth and inexperience. Pendleton was very surprised by Tilson’s “bit of news.” He remarks, “It is difficult to comprehend how a self-respecting body could do such a thing. . .Yet how clear it is that prejudice leads to a fatal bondage.” Mr. Caldwell thought Tilson’s news would make for good reading in the Life, but Pendleton felt they should wait to publish anything until they had permission from Tilson. This summer, Pendleton and his wife will travel with Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Pitcairn to South Africa. Pendleton hopes to see Tilson during the return trip, probably in late October. In Bryn Athyn, the planning for the new Assembly hall has stirred up quite a bit of discontent. Names mentioned: Mr. (Victor) Gladish, Mr. (Will) Caldwell, Mr. Harold Pitcairn, Mr. Theodore Pitcairn, Mrs. (Maryke Urban) Pitcairn, Mrs. (Beatrice Walton Childs) Pendleton
