Correspondence, Program Files 1904-1963.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48086344

The records, though transferred as part of ELC records, consist primarily of items from the Sudan Mission prior to the time when the ELC took over the field. They include correspondence, sermons, lectures, and accounts, most of which were collected by Gunderson. The correspondence is to missionaries, the Sudan Mission Committee, companies with which mission business was conducted, and prayer supporters. A manuscript titled "All Your Need" chronicles the history of the mission, and a booklet by the same title describes the Sudan Mission Committee and its work. The two items, in spite of the identical titles, are quite different. There are a few other printed items, including a booklet that predates the mission, titled Bonaberi, published by the Basel Mission in Switzerland.
