Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The Kate L. Bartholomew series includes items saved and/or created by E. F. Bartholomew's wife, Kate. The series has been arranged into the following eight subseries: Correspondence, Cards and programs, Diaries, Writings, Magazines, Books and pamphlets, Photographs, and Miscellaneous. Of note in this series are Kate Bartholomew's writings. One essay is an account of David Day and the Muhlenburg Mission in Monrovia. Bartholomew describes the circumstances of living in Africa, the difficult task it is to find and retain good missionaries, the missionary's attitude toward the African people, and the place of women in African society as compared to their American counterparts. This essay appears to have been delivered in the form of an address at a Missionary Society meeting.
