Very good condition. "As a missionary working in the field, Moffat was required to keep a journal and send it periodically to the Directors of the L.M.S. in London. He did not particularly relish the task, for which, indeed, he seems to have had little aptitude; and from about the middle of 1826 he apparently noted down the events of each day only when he was on a journey, and away from the Mission station. He retained for his own use the original drafts, sending the Directors, whenever the opportunity occurred, transcripts that sometimes omitted certain details, but that sometimes also included new matter evidently added at the time of copying. These journals, for the years 1821-27, form the nucleus of the present volume. They are reproduced in full, so far as possible from the original drafts preserved in the Central African Archives at Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia. . The journals have been supplemented by a large number of letters. Some, written by Moffat to the Directors or other officials of the L.M.S., give fuller details of various incidents or topics, or cover entirely new ground. Others, written by Moffat or his wife to relatives in England, contain a good deal of information not communicated to the Directors, and, in particular, express opinions (about both persons and events) that could hardly have been included in official or semi-official correspondence. . My aim has been to select from them whatever could be considered valuable as source material for the history of the Mission at Kuruman and the peoples in its vicinity.". …
