T. K. Hershey to Bender

Significant set of correspondence with T. K. Hershey (Tobias K. Hershey), concerning having the mission board send someone to South America, on an investigation trip, 1928, regarding the Mennonites who had been sent to Paraguay—one Hershey letter extant here, and copies of letters by Orie O. Miller and Levi Mumaw as well as by Bender. December 5, 1930: Bender explained why Paraguay, not Brazil; Bender recounted his own role; assertion that “not a single refugee family went to Paraguay on any other basis that [their own free choice, after learning the facts]”; blunt advice to Hershey about whom he should listen to, with mention of refugee names; problems and division among the refugees, partly due to the several branches of Mennonites; Bender’s love for the refugees; etc. Letter from Hershey, December 17, 1930.
