Robert Freeman letter to Henry E. Huntington
Manuscripts
In this letter on Pasadena Presbyterian Church letterhead, Rev. Freeman discusses a building plan for the proposed educational building for the Pasadena Presbyterian Church at the cost of $150,000. He mentions that Mrs. Howard Huntington suggested that he might be interested in the building project that is waiting for the final bid from the contractor. He goes on to describe the pledge drive, the wide interest the project has enjoyed and the main purpose of providing a wholesome religious environment for the youth. He explains that there are between 1100 and 1200 youth in attendance every Sunday and additional opportunities for weekday activities. Rev. Freeman writes that if Mr. Huntington needed further details that he would be happy to oblige and that he is still in hopes of getting to see the library as he had a prior appointment that was interrupted by the war.
