| description |
Correspondence, mainly received by Edwin W Smith, mostly from officials on the General Missionary Committee of the Primitive Methodist Missionary Society as well as from other missionary colleagues. There are also a few letters written by Smith and a few general papers (including reports and plans). A significant proportion of the correspondence regards the founding of the new Central African mission in Kasenga [Zambia] and includes information on the site, fund raising, finances and Edwin W Smith's role. Some correspondence also on health and financial policy.
