"Baum's Quarterly Report"

The report is concerned with Baum’s first journey to Gyadam, made difficult by the fact that he was severely ill during the journey, was also alone, and plague by unreliable carriers whom he seems not to have handled very firmly. Another point of some interest is that among his stores on the journey was chocolate; and that he was regularly taking quinine to cure the fever. Additional material in this report unpublished: no missionary work has apparently been done in the villages surrounding Gyadam. The bulk of this is published in Heidenbote 1856, p. 105f.
