| Description |
These items mainly consist of narratives of Africa as it was experienced by the first missionary settlers. Within such accounts are commentary on local beliefs and a detailed description of the first 'small pox village' designed to isolate those with the disease from those without. The more descriptive content includes details of Bishop Steere's first attempts to make contact with the natives through gifts of corn and Reverend Proctor's claim that 'the English never beat anyone capriciously'. The first of these journals includes the names of the tribal chiefs Bishop MacKenzie met on route to Lake Nyassa and describes a deadly famine in the area.
