                <text>Tissue-paper pages without page-numbers. The cover is lost and the binding has broken, so that bundles of pages are loose - the whole is kept in a cardboard file. It seems that the original book was not simply used from the beginning to the end - perhaps it was begun from both ends.  Conservation: not at all good - many pages with too much ink, and many pages with too little. Indeed over substantial numbers of pages the degree of legibility is very slight. But the bulk of the documents will have been addressed to the mission house in Basel, and should be available in series C-1.

                <text>A very early copy-book made of tissue paper, probably one of the earliest in the archive. The dimensions including the cover are 27 x 22 x 3.1 cm. The copy-book was used from back to front - about 2/3 of the pages are unused. It contains tissue paper copies of letters 1842-1844 and paper copies of letters pasted between 1844 and 1847. Preservation standard: In the case of tissue paper copies, almost entirely catastrophic, in the best case the traces of the ink are barely legible. Attempts were made to salvage some of the basic information in the documents, using pencil or ink additions in the old German manuscript. The later papers are readable, although they were not written well enough as file copies to be easily read by anyone other than the author. Despite the wording of the title ("Indien-Verein" = "India Society"), it is the example of the Basel Women's Mission, which was tried to organize in Europe from 1842. The author of the letters 1842-1844 is Pastor Huber in Basel. Copies of letters from 1844 exist in paper form, often without signatures, although it seems clear that the correspondence was conducted by Pastor Adolf Sarasin. Some letters are addressed to missionaries in India (e.g. the Gunderts) who were interested in developing a women's mission. Others are obviously part of the attempt to build a network to support this organisation in Europe. Others are directed to people who travelled abroad for the Basel Mission (in particular Karolina Mook).

The folder also contains a thin school exercise-book with soft covers entitled "Dharwar", in which probably Adolf Sarasin summarised information from Dharwar, but also other Indian mission stations, relevant to womens’ mission.

                <text>Collection of bound and duplicated (lithographed) letters 1845-1852.  Original cover lost, no title.  Texts written in Calw and London, duplicated in Mangalore, information for serving missionaries in India. Foolscap format (and most papers in the document are foolscap). No consecutive page numbers. The document is c.2.3cm thick. Condition: really rather good, considering the technique, the age, and the neglect this file must have suffered over the decades. The document begins with a series of 2-3 page circulars sent out in German by Christian Gottlob Barth in Calw (in cases where an addressee is visible, these copies were being sent to Samuel Hebich). The Barth circulars end in 1852. In this document they are followed by circulars in the same format and technique written in English by C. Young of Islington, who was closely connected with CMS. These also begin in 1845, and end with Young’s circular No. 63 dated 1852. There is an indication on the circular for 3rd June 1851 that the documents were being turned into circulars in Mangalore. And the circular by Mr Young dated 8th Sep. 1846 explains that he is being asked to supplement Barth’s letters in this way. Young’s letters are often addressed to Mögling. The circular of 7th Dec. 1847 has a PS which informs the readers (with a dateline Mangalore 26. Jan. 1848) that if they wish to continue receiving them, they will have to pay..... The general idea of both Barth and Young seems to have been to keep the missionaries (in India, presumably) au fait with general, and especially personal, news from the centres of world mission.

At least two original letters have found their way into this volume....But on the whole it consists of a collection of circulars duplicated in Mangalore, the texts originating either in Basel, Calw or Mangalore. The Calw circulars are signed by Hermann Gundert, successors, no doubt, to those collected in C-5-1.26c.

Condition:  moderate or slightly better. The paper is discolouring uniformly. There is some insect/worm damage. The copies are often rather weak. This pad was used by the missionaries Risch (to ca. p. 120) and Schosser from 1909 to 1913. In a fairly close examination I saw only German texts, with one page in the Kannada script. Many of the individual texts are long - drafts of annual reports?

                <text>The successor to C-5-1.27.  A substantial volume (31x24x4cm dimensions inside the binding) containing 487 numbered pages.  319 of these pages are used as mounts for copies of letters to India from the India Inspector in Basel. From p. 88 (Dec. 1912) these copies are typewritten.  Before p. 88 they are mostly handwritten. All letters are on light-weight paper (air mail paper?  Tissue paper from copy books?). This looks like a very useful compendium - easy to read, once the typewriter is in use, with clear chains of addressees down through the Mission hierarchy, and an excellent insight into the patterns of thought and organisation characteristic of the Committee in Basel in the years before 1914.  There is, however, no indication as to where this volume was generated. It evidently lay with the other materials from station archives in India, and the handwritten label on the front of its cover is of the same type as those found on other volumes brought back from India c.1920 by Eidenbenz (although there is no explicit reference to this provenance).  Ms Haas was of the opinion that these copies were collected in the office of the Präses (Field Superintendant in Mangalore) who will have seen all these letters on their arrival in India.

Authors:  Vogel,  Eidenbenz Although the draft guide to the India Archive identified this as a copy-book generated in Kodakal, closer examination shows it to have been in Rudolf Vogel’s office in Cannanore. "Personal" in the title indicates that it was a letter book personal to the Manager (of the Basel Mission weaving shop in Cannanore), rather than containing especially personal material.  Following a fairly careful search only copies of letters to addressees in India were found.

Condition: good (except that the cover is missing).  The earliest documents are General Conference minutes from 1838 and 1839. Then follow proposed congregational regulations (9 pp) drafted in India, what appears to be a copy of an 18-page reply from Basel, and further exchanges between the Committee in Basel and different groups of missionaries in India.  A last page with different coloured paper has been folded to fit the format of the rest of the bundle, and contains a letter written by Inspector Hoffmann to the South Mahratta missionaries in 1846.

                <text>School exercise book format, the first 33 pages have been numbered by hand (but 33 pages is probably somewhat less than half the whole book).  Condition:  severely damaged by insects/worms, and towards the end heavy ink-spread makes the documents very difficult to read, especially since the documents were written on both sides of the page, and thus the writing of both sides is visible from each.  The title is inadequate in that the book includes also the minutes of a Station Conference Mangalore 1838, a General Conference in 1839,  and copies of relevant correspondence. In view of the conservation and reading difficulties no attempt has been made here to index the second half of the book, but it looks as if the end of the book is more a station chronicle than a set of minutes.
