"Briefe der Brüder Cappelen, Henke, Holzwarth, Salbach, J.G. Schmidt"
Description
Die Briefe von Henke, Holzwarth, Salbach und Schmidt stammen aus der Zeit, nachdem sie Basel in Richtung Ghana verlassen hatten und bevor sie nach Westafrika eingeschifft wurden. Jörgen Cappelen (BV 83) wurde nach seiner Missionsausbildung in Basel zum Agent der Basler Mission in Skandinavie: Seine Briefe berichten von einer Reise, die er im Auftrag der Basler Mission in Skandinavien unternahm, vor allem zur Anbahnung der Mision in Ghana. Einige der Briefe sind von allen ausgesandten Missionaren gemeinsam verfasst worden. / The letters from Henke, Holzwarth, Salbach and Schmidt stem from the period after they had left Basel en route for Ghana in 1827/1828, and before they had taken ship for West Africa. Cappelen (BV 83) was appointed Basel Mission agent in Scandinavia after being trained in Basel: his letters report on a journey he made on behalf of the Basel Mission in Scandinavia. A number of the letters are jointly written by the men named above.
