Description

The collection includes missionary journals written by different missionaries in various places in the world, official baptism forms, letters, an obituary, printed material and notes made by Jacob Wahrman on material from the London Society's archive. The reports and many of the texts have been edited to a greater or lesser extent and have date stamps on them apparently indicating either when they were edited or filed or received, since the date is usually a month after the report was filed.
