Summary: Volume containing letters from various correspondents, mostly Methodist ministers some of whom are missionaries such as William Arthur, Samuel Broadbent, James Cox, Elijah Hoole, Richard B Lyth, John Nelson, W H Rule and John Thomas. On many occasions Steele has provided biographical or anecdotal information and occasionally this is quite substantial as with, for example, the missionaries Barnabas Shaw, John Felvus and John Mortier. There are also a few sermons by Thomas Dunn, John Murlin and Joseph Thomson. The letter for Jonathan Cadman also includes a photograph. The volume is indexed although missing the entries for 'A'. The index has a few crossed out entries indicating where letters have been removed.
