Pendleton will present for approval W.F.P.’s proposed time for the Pittsburgh District Assembly at the next Committee meeting. As the Assembly will interfere with the administration of Holy Supper, Pendleton suggests an alternate schedule which would still allow for five Holy Suppers during the year.

With regret, Pendleton turns down the position offered by the Board of Directors; He feels he would like the work, but the salary is significantly less than his current income. Additionally, it would place a great strain on Beatrice, however much she would enjoy living in Bryn Athyn. Both Pendleton and Beatrice would make any sacrifice necessary for the Church, but Pendleton does not feel that this is warranted in this...

Earlier the same day, Pendleton wrote to W.F.P. and Mr. Doering rejecting the position in Bryn Athyn offered by the Board of Directors as the salary offered was too low. After having added up receipts, Pendleton has now calculated that his income for the previous year was $3,092.50, and so the proposed salary would represent about a 1/3rd reduction of income. As things are, Pendleton struggles to put aside even a small...

Pendleton is forwarding W.F.P. a letter from Mr. Kendig about the conduct of Mr. Whitehead during his time in Renovo. It seems that relations between Kendig and Whitehead became strained, and eventually Kendig wrote a letter of complaint to Mr. Synnestvedt. Before the letter could be sent, Whitehead found it and read it before turning it back over to Kendig. Whitehead’s reasoning was that he could not afford to have his...
