réf. 4337CHRISTIAN 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

1881réf. 5494Beawar Rajasthan 1881. Good plus. Three letters totaling 12pp. Old folds with a few minor separations. Some toning. A group of three interesting letters that reflect the work of Scottish missonary Williamson Shoolbred and local convert Chaukas Ram in Beawar Rajasthan. Shoolbred was sent to India in 1858 by the Mission Board of the United Churches of Scotland and opened a school in Beawar in early 1860.The yearly letters each two pages in Hindi are from Ram who became Shoolbred's fellow teacher and are both translated into English by Shoolbred on the following two pages of the bifolium.

1929réf. 4780Oxford 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. 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. 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

1923réf. 5584Various 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. 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
