Protestant weekly letter, 1914-1916.

The collection consists of letters, mostly typescript, written by Deissmann between 1914 and 1916. In an introductory letter to the "Protestant weekly letter," Deissmann claims that the "great war of 1914 has been the cause of a distinct, and in many places marked revival of Christian life." Accordingly, Deissmann wrote this series of letters to describe "some details of this very interesting religious time for a number of prominent American personalities." With the exception of a few loose pages, the letters are arranged in chronological order with the bulk of them dated as having been written in 1915.
