Abstract
Letters written 1852 - 1880 and transcribed from microfilm reels 1-12 of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM), regarding protection of missionaries hoping to live among the Gilbertese on various islands, for the purposes for converting them to a Christian way of life. The letters also discuss the crafts and customs of the Islanders, wars, murders and massacres at length.
