| Summary: |
Incoming correspondence from missionaries in Southern Africa to the London Missionary Society headquarters, 1928-1950. These files also contain copies of some of the letters sent out by the LMS, which effectively makes the correspondence from 1928 into an Incoming & Outgoing correspondence series. However, the files comprise primarily incoming letters from missionaries.

22 boxes

| Arrangement: |
From 1928 onwards Incoming correspondence from the field is no longer stored in chronological order, but in alphabetical order by sender. This means that the letters from a particular missionary are filed together. There may be more than one file per missionary however, as files are either yearly, or only span a limited number of years. Additional boxes of Southern Africa correspondence are found in the 1941-1950 accrual of papers (requisition: CWM/LMS/1941-1950/Boxes AF 6-14). After 1950, correspondence for Southern Africa is found in the Africa division. |
