"[No title] [Field Secretaries’ general correspondence in India 1917-1919]"

Contents evidently removed from a loose-leaf file, some 5 cm thick. Condition: good. File kept in the office of the Basel Mission Präses ("President"), B. Lüthi. Earliest correspondence April 1917, latest correspondence dating from the beginning of 1919. On the whole the letters are in reverse chronological order, but this is not totally consistent. Condition: good. Exclusively correspondence from within India. Many documents (correspondence between Basel missionaries) in German, but much of the file is in English. Extremely miscellaneous, with interesting elements, e.g. on the founding of the Malabar Council of the South India United Church, with participation of the Basel Mission congregations, 1919. Many questions of personnel administration (extra payments to cover inflation, e.g.).
