Records reflect foreign mission activity during the tenure of John and (to a lesser extent) Walter Lowrie. They contain correspondence and reports on missions to the Chinese in California (considered foreign mission work at the time and not transferred to the Board of National Missions until 1923), outgoing correspondence to the Gaboon and Corisco mission in West Africa, and other general outgoing correspondence. The letters and reports to the Lowries on the Chinese work in California were written by the Revs. Augustus Ward Loomis and Ira Condit, two of the first missionaries in that field.
