| Description | The original papers [incoming: O1-35] were copied into the mission books, so that a legible copy was available for the use of the committee. The numbers in the book correspond with the numbers, usually in red ink, on the letters. Letters are copied out in full, while a note of receipt is made for financial and printed papers. Annual letters from those for 1870 onwards, are copied out in [or, if printed, pasted or sewn into] the backs of the volumes. These letters are a yearly account by missionaries of their activities and cover a period from August to July. |
