Papers, 1808-1927.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32452516

Collection consists mostly of letters addressed to Pendleton by his mother, Henrietta Pendleton (Mrs. W. H.) of Bedford County, Va., and Elizabeth Forrer Chapman before and after she became his wife. Correspondence is mostly about personal interests, family, and friends. There is a letter from Gen. George W. C. Lee stating that he will pay for the improvement on a particular church. A letter by Newton D. Baker, whom the Rev. Pendleton had taught at the Mt. Welcome High School in Culpeper County, is very revealing about the influence of a friend on Baker's development.
