He reports that they have finally heard from Alfred Stroh in Sweden; They had not heard from him for two or three months after he went to Spain.

He agrees with Waelchli’s idea of developing Rosthern as a New Church center and working from it. Pendleton was interested in Waelchli’s comments about Peter Klippenstein as a potential candidate for the ministry, and he promises to write to Middleport about the prospect of Waelchli visiting. Pendleton reports that Mrs. Pendleton has returned home from her extended hospital stay. Names mentioned: Alfred Stroh, Mr. (John?) Pitcairn, Mr. Wilde, Mr. (John) Hamm, Peter Klippenstein, Mrs. (Beatrice Walton Childs) Pendleton, Mrs. (Alena Hughes) Waelchli, Olivia (Waelchli Childs)
