"Müller to Basel"

Asks for a station library. History, commentaries and sermons, dictionaries of Greek and Hebrew, African travels, mission history, mission biographies wanted. Also books in English, especially for the Catechist who needs to have the opportunity to increase his understanding of Christianity, and also to increase his zeal. Books already pm the station are listed: Gesenius' Hebrew Lexicon is little use, since it uses Latin to explain the Hebrew: who wants to worry themselves with a Latin dictionary in Africa? A German Hebrew lexicon; would, on the other hand, be of the greatest use, especially in translating the Psalms into Twi. He lists other books they would appreciate. In a subscript Mader adds some titles to this list. Another subscript signed by Widman warns against sending too much while transport is so difficult.
