(AMERICAN MISSIONARIES IN INDIA)
Three Missionary Letters From India In 1902 To An American In Seattle
CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES IN INDIA. An archive of three letters from Christian missionies in India to E.E. Pelz of Seattle Washington:TLS. 1pg. 8 x 11. March 5 1902. Allahabad India. A typed letter signed Rockwell Clancy to E.E. Pelz: I have been transferred from the Allahabad District to the Muttra District. There are more than 12000 Christians in my new district and it will be impossible for me to attend to that work to retain the secretary ship of the Bishop Thoburn Special Fund for India. Mr. Rockey is a missionary of many years experience and is not new to the work of the special fund as he was secretary before I took over the work from him at the beginning of 1895 when he went to America on furlough. His name will be familiar to the patrons of 1894 in previous years. I feel sure that anyone who has ever had a letter from him about the work in India will be very glad to know that he is taken up this duty again. Among all are missionaries there are very few men who can write more interestingly of India than Mr. Rockey. Let me ask you to continue to do all you can to interest others in India. The opportunities for work among the heathen are boundless. Many doors are open to us; thousands would become Christians if we could give them pastors and teachers. I came to India 18 years ago. At that time there were not more than 10000 Christians in our mission; today there are 128000. Let us continue to pray and work till India becomes a Christian land. The letter has chipping along the right edge and is in good condition.TLS. 1pg. 8 x 11. April 24 1902. A typed letter signed N.L. Rockey on The Bishop Thoburn Special Fund For India letterhead. He wrote to E.E. Pelz: The latest draft from mission rooms brought to meet your your donation of $15 given in February for the continued support of a pastor teacher in India. I find from the books that Bro. Clancy turned over to me that you have given on several occasions but he has made no assignment. I know that it is pleasant for people who give for this fun to have some special man in view and therefore ascending the sum to the presiding elder of Kasgunj district I asked him to send me the names of men who would be supported by the special fund. One of them I am assigning to you. When you pray and when you give keep Chadmai Lall's maybe for you. He is a pastor teacher in Kasgunj district. He is 28 years of age. A number of villages must be visited by him. In some of these villages a few Christians live apart from other people despised by their neighbors. This year he has 10 men whom he is seeking to win for Christ. He also teaches a small school which 15 boys are reading.N.L. Rockey. The letter has a rough right edge.ALS. 5pg. 5 x 8. April 24 1902. Sitaper India. A lengthy autograph letter signed N.L. Rockey to E.E. Pelz: Several years ago we had the pleasure of receiving from you a donation of $15 for our special fund but now for some time we've not heard from you. It is possible to the fault is ours and that you do not get a proper acknowledgment of your donation. Our Bro Clancy tried to keep all straight but he has had several men working upon them and the great strain of the famine came let some of the records get into confusion and the writing had to be left to such helpers as he could secure. You will see by the enclosed that I am now called to this duty and I desire to have brethren in America correspond with me concerning any difficulty in past donations. As far as I can I will trace the matter a reply to your questions. We have been roughly honest with the money you entrusted to us. Over one half of the work in the N.W. India conference has been carried on only through the aid of the special fund that started as promised$100 would support a full preacherWe would be so glad to enlist your prayers and help to enable us to continue our work. Our missionary society has scattered its obligations on all continents and is not been able to contain its support to India. You can designate your gift for the support of Scholarships for our native schools or for the support of an orphan or for the endowment of our English schools where our missionaries children are educated. We need a fund that will supply good teachers in these.N.L. Rockey. The lengthy letter is in fine condition. unknown

[American Southwest – Catholic Missionaries – Indigenous History] Multiple Authors
Die Franziskaner Missionen des Suedwestens Franciscan Missions of the Southwest Vol. 1
St. Michaels Arizona: Anselm Weber and Berard Haile 1913. Sixty-eight page booklet measuring 6 ¾ x 10 inches. Wear mainly to covers; excellent. Catholic missionaries—Franciscans in particular—have been present in what is now the American Southwest since the 16th century. For most of this time these were Spanish missionaries missioning to the Pueblo people mainly in New Mexico; these missionaries’ presence waned over time. In 1898 several decades after the Navajo were allowed to return to a reservation on part of their former territory the first permanent Catholic mission to the Navajo was organized. St. Michael’s was founded by Fathers Anselm Weber and Berard Haile German Franciscans from Cincinnati. <br /> <br /> Their approach was different from the Spanish friars’ and that of the United States government primarily in that Weber and Haile advocated learning the Navajo language understanding the culture and approaching their conversion from that angle especially focusing on children who were more impressionable.1 Haile in particular became an expert in the language and culture translating many Catholic texts and producing dictionaries and writing anthropological studies of Navajo culture and religion.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a German-language copy—both Haile and Anselm were German—of the first volume of St. Michael’s yearly publication The Fransiscan Missions of the Southwest Die Franziskaner Missionen des Suedwestens. The illustrated journal was published from 1913 to 1922 and discussed the Navajo and Pueblo people and cultures and the activities of the missionaries in the area. Among other topics this volume contains an article about the Navajo Fire Dance “Der Feuertanz der Navajo-Indianer" with photographs taken from Haile’s Ethnologic Dictionary of the Navaho Language 1910.<br /> <br /> We find sixteen holdings on OCLC of the full run of the journal and three of this specific volume. Of interest to historians of Catholic missionaries to the Pueblo and Navajo people.<br /> <br /> 1 Ross Enochs “The Franciscan Mission to the Navajos: Mission Method and Indigenous Religion 1898–1940†The Catholic Historical Review 92 no. 1 January 2006: 46–73.

She goes on to discuss the building of a new church by some "earnest young men" briefly noting that they still need money to furnish the church. "We are very anxious to start some kind of social work here -- if possible to open an amusement hall where young men can come to have a good time in a good way -- with good women. There is no such place in our city and how many evil resorts there are." She relates further activities an endless stream of clubs and activities and teaching efforts for the Lord closing with family news.

[Missionaries]. Jackson, Lula
Collection of Real Photo Postcards Photographs and Printed Pictorial Postcards Relating to the Missionary Teaching Work of Lula Jackson Featuring Subjects in El Salvador Guatemala and Mexico
Various locations in Guatemala and Mexico 1923. Very good. 145 real photo postcards photographs and printed pictorial postcards thirty-eight with manuscript notes on verso. Minor wear overall. A wonderful collection of images featuring the people and places involved with the educational missionary work of Lula Maud Jackson later Tolosa of Birmingham Michigan. Jackson was a Baptist missionary teacher at schools in El Salvador Cuba Mexico and Guatemala before returning to Michigan in the early-1920s. Not long after her return Lula married an El Salvadorian minister named Ramon Alberto Tolosa in Michigan on June 26 1923; apparently Tolosa moved to Michigan to be with Lula and thereafter established the First Mexican Baptist Church in Saginaw where he remained as pastor until his retirement in 1975. The present collection of photographs feature numerous people and places Jackson knew during her time in Latin America.<br /> <br /> The collection contains a few photographs that appear to include Jackson but the great majority show various native settings and subjects including the children she was teaching pictured in class group shots. Most are not captioned but many of these images are dated in 1921. The images feature students at play fruit vendors carrying large baskets churches and other buildings and more. Almost forty of the images however which are mostly portrait postcards or photographs include inscriptions to Lula on the verso from the numerous named subjects. All of the captions are written in Spanish. Seventeen of these identify various subjects in Mexico by name including multiple members of the same family in one case. One postcard is covered completely on the verso with the musical notation and lyrics of a song called "Ven a El pecador!" Two of these postcards were actually postmarked to Lula in Cuba while she was there in 1916 and 1919. Eighteen of these annotated real photo postcards were sent to Lula by her soon-to-be husband Ramon Tolosa all but one in either May or early June 1923 before the couple married later in June of that year. At the time Ramon was working in Tampico Mexico from where he sent all of these postcards. The postcards are not postmarked indicating Ramon may have sent them inside other letters; plus the captions contain straightforward descriptions of the subjects and settings of the postcards and not the personal correspondence that might be expected from two people about to be married. All in all a diverse and personal collection of images of Mexico kept by a missionary teacher from Michigan to memorialize her earlier work there offering several avenues for further research. unknown

[Missionaries]. [China]
Mimeographed Letter Signed from an American Missionary in China Regarding Continued Contributions Despite the Chinese Civil War and Forwarding a Lucky-Charm Woodblock Print
Shanghai China: February 24 1928. Very good. 1p. plus colored woodblock print 21.5 x 12.5 inches. With original envelope. Old folds minor wear. Mimeographed fundraising letter sent by Reverend H.G.C. Hallock to a supporter in Vermont. Henry Galloway Comingo Hallock 1870-1951 was a West Virginia native who studied at Princeton Theological Seminary. He moved to China as a Presbyterian missionary and teacher in 1905 where he taught Sunday School served as a pastor and also taught theology at St. John's University in Shanghai. He survived war disease famine and a Japanese prison during World War II; he died in China in 1951. One thing that set Hallock apart was his inclusion of local Chinese woodblock prints with his fundraising letters which today have become desirable collectibles. Such a print is present here showing the God of War Wu-ti. His letter opens discussing the print:<br /> <br /> "Wars in China suggest sending you 'Wu-ti' the Chinese god-of-war. . The general idea about Wu-ti is that he delights in war. That is not the Chinese idea of him. . Officials and scholars worship him as the ideal of loyalty soldiers do it to make them brave and protect them in battle and the people worship him to protect them from war's horrors. He's called 'Peace Bringer Protector Great God of Loyalty.' But he makes not peace nor protects nor makes loyal so is a failure. He's also called 'Warrior Prince.' As to that name he's a great success! There are lots of wars."<br /> <br /> He goes on to discuss the many conflicts which are like "a real Chinese puzzle" noting that it's not the people of China who are at issue or fault. "Recently I have received letters from America suggesting that since 'China has altogether gone to the bad and the Chinese are absolutely impossible' and since our 'work among them has gone for nothing' then I should 'quit and come home.' I hope you don't think thus. The masses of Chinese tho reminding me of 'dumb driven cattle' are still friendly as ever. The war-lords the Nationalists the Reds the bandits wars and evil propaganda are disturbing elements; but they are NOT China nor the Chinese. . The troubles in China have come from a fiercely aggressive and 'noisy minority' who make the great mass of Chinese suffer untold hardships." He goes on to defend the Christian work being done in China as of great benefit to the people. February 24 unknown

[Missionaries]. [China Inland Mission]. Broomhall, Marshall
Typed Letter Signed from an American Missionary Regarding Conversion of Chinese Muslims to Christianity
London: March 29 1911. Very good. 1p. Previously folded. Contemporary manuscript annotation is left margin. Light toning. A brief but interesting letter dated March 29 1911 from Marshall Broomhall Editorial Secretary of England's China Inland Mission to the Rev. Arthur H. Smail a prominent American Missionary in China. Broomhall had recently published a book Islam in China in which he promoted the use of Arabic-speaking missionaries to proselytize Chinese Muslims. The book used information received from Smail about the Chinese Muslim population but Broomhall at certain points managed to confuse Beijing Peking and nearby Tongzhou Tungchow while apparently attempting to criticize Smail's statements. This letter apologizes to Smail for his error though the American seems to have still been cross -- having received the letter Smail noted in the left margin "Two pages gives to demolishing what I never said!

The local plague is mentioned several times in French's letter. She mentions her own inoculation against the plague. She also records that "before long we learned that there had been several deaths from plague in our town. We had nearly all our Christians innoculated some time before and Mrs. Rutherford at once had the stragglers attended to those who had fever when the doctor was innoculating and one or two who were not very strong and would only be done if the disease came near." Shortly thereafter French notes that "people are leaving town on account of the plague."

[Ohio – Connecticut Western Reserve – Missionaries] Badger, Joseph; Badger, Abigail
1840 Letter from Rev. Joseph and Abigail Badger Discussing Church Matters and Life in Perrysburg Ohio
Perrysburg Ohio 1840. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Some stains folded with small tears at folds and tear at seal; overall near fine. Joseph Badger 1757–1846 was the first missionary to be sent to the Connecticut Western Reserve.1 He served in the Continental Army received a degree from Yale and was sent to Ashtabula County by the Connecticut Missionary Society in 1802. He retired in about 1833 after many years of organizing schools and churches around the Western Reserve plus a stint as a brigade chaplain during the War of 1812.<br /> <br /> Abigail Ely was Badger’s second wife; they married in 1819. The two write here to a widowed friend Harriet Lyon and her children in Gustavus Ohio. They discuss the importance of singing to religious work and of teaching children to sing and describe their living situation—on a farm nearby to some of their children who help them out. They also briefly complain about the quality of ministry in the area writing that the situation:<br /> <br /> “is exceedingly dark; one Church has a Minister worse than none; Six others have no Minister. . Much of the preaching that comes along occationally is calculated to excite the super-ficial affections of the mind without reaching the heart or enlightening the understanding.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Ohio and religion in the Western Reserve.<br /> <br /> 1 “Badger Joseph†in Encyclopedia of Cleveland History accessed March 20 2025 https://case.edu/ech/articles/b/badger-joseph. unknown

[Women]. [Missionaries]. [Ohio]
Manuscript Notebook Recording the Meeting Minutes for the Young Women's Missionary Society
Oxford Oh 1929. Good plus. 169pp. Contemporary notebook bound in limp black cloth sewn. Covers chipped and creased with a closed vertical tear spine perished but well-sewn and holding strong. Occasional toning to text. An informative manuscript minutes book recording monthly meeting activities written by a series of recording secretaries for the Young Ladies Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian Church of Oxford Ohio over the course of more than fifteen years in the early-20th century. Later in the volume the group begins referring to itself as the Young Women's Missionary Society. The meeting notes range from a few lines to more than one page with most consisting of two-thirds of a page or more. The notes generally open with the month and date followed by an opening statement identifying the location of the meeting and sometimes how many members attended that month's meeting. During the meetings the women engage in scripture lessons the singing of religious songs report on club finances and are often treated to a paper or presentation on a variety of subjects related to missionary work. The subjects of the papers include China works of the Mission Press African Americans Mexico Mormonism South America children's issues immigration mission work in Alaska home missions and a variety of other subjects with numerous presentations focusing on Native Americans.<br /> <br /> A typical entry from the second meeting recorded here on August 11 1913 reads as follows: "The July meeting of the Y.L.M.S. was held at the Parsonage. As this was the month for the picnic the Ladies Missionary Society was invited to be us. Miss Elizabeth Wallace was the devotional leader and had a very interesting program which consisted of short poems the scripture lesson memory verses from the Bible and some Bible songs. Miss Beaton read a splendid paper on 'An Educational Revolution in China.' The carpet for the church was discussed after which we adjourned and enjoyed a fine picnic supper on the lawn. Ruth Stephenson Sect." In addition to the monthly entries the minutes book also contains occasional lists of members providing additional valuable information on the composition of the society and occasional financial statements or detailed treasurer's reports enumerating informative financial data on the functioning of the organization.<br /> <br /> The location of the group was ferreted out of clues in the text including a handful of references to activities in Cincinnati a note about the membership deciding at one point to gather "old papers and magazines for the Champion Coated Paper Company" whose western paper mill was located in Hamilton Ohio and most pointedly there is one financial report headed "Report of the Treasurer of Y.W.M.S. of the U.P. Church of Oxford O. for year ending Mar 31 1919." Information is scant on this local Ohio women's organization devoted to missionary work though the present work should certainly illuminate their activities both before and well after the First World War. unknown
