The papers relate to the Mare mission. They comprise newspaper clippings, articles, photographs, maps a diary and personal and other correspondence. The personal correspondence describes their daily lives, the adjustment to local conditions and foods, the seeds and plants they grew and a very detailed account of his wife Sarah's childbirth with "placenta previa" (See item 7 on the microfilm). In all Sarah had 8 children, 2 stillborn, 2 died in infancy and 4 survived. The photographs are of indigenous people and the mission buildings on Mare, and members of Jones' family. There are letters between him and the French government 1881-1886, including the 'rules drawn up for settlement of the Mare difficulty' (in French). The newspaper clippings include items from "The Christian", "The Chronicle" and "Le Neo-Caledonien". Also included on the reel is a copy of "The People and Language of Lifu, Loyalty Islands" by Sydney H. Ray, MA FRAI, with illustrations.
