"Dharwar [1877-1914] / Letters addressed to the mission station in Dharwad 1877-1914"

504 pp., 500 used. Letters of all kinds addressed to the personnel of the Dharwad station. NB the letter dd. 20th Feb 1913 from Inspector Frohnmeyer to Miss Margaret Beck (pp. 462-4) is a particular case in Basel Mission organisation. Miss Beck had been involved in a complicated case in Mangalore in which she had tried to defend the personal rights and freedoms of a girl in one of the Mangalore schools. This had been severely criticised by the other (male!!) missionaries. She had been posted away to Dharwad as a result. And the Inspector’s letter to her commenting on what had happened in Mangalore is filed here under Dharwad, although the matterconcerned Mangalore as much as it did Miss Beck.
