| Date | 1885-1934 |
| Description | The original papers comprise all incoming papers sent by the mission secretary (or occasionally directly from the missionaries) to the Group Committee. They consist mainly of letters and reports, but include minutes and papers of local CMS and diocesan committees. |
| Arrangement | They are numbered [in red ink] for each year from 1 January. The date of receipt is also noted and often the initials of Secretaries and other headquarters' staff dealing with the papers. Some items, notably finance correspondence, were removed as soon as they had been entered in the precis books. Others were removed in the normal course of administrative work. In these cases there is usually a note of the number of the item, plus the initials of the staff member and department, to be found in the packet. |
