[Finanzen] Rechnung von Hansing & Co (Tabora, Daressalaam) an N. Andersen über Frachtkosten (u.a. zwei Jagdtrophäen)

[Personalakte Peter Jessen] Bock (Makamba) an Bracker mit einem Begleitbrief zu einem Aufsatz für das Missionsblatt. In diesem Brief äußert Bock tiefen Dank dafür, dass die Missionare das Privileg genießen, mit Bracker völlig offen zu reden, was mit Missionsinspektor Lucht nicht in der Weise möglich sei. Über die bevorstehende Aussendung der Missionsbräute. Ob ein spezieller Antrag dazu nötig sei? Man hoffe, die Bräute bis Oktober bei sich zu haben. Anfrage, ob weitere Möbel in Daressalaam bestellt werden dürften? Bitte um Zusendung von drei Zinkbadewannen sowie einem Exemplar der Missionsblätter für jeden Missionar einzeln.

[Personalakte Peter Jessen] Jessen (Kigoma) an Bracker mit Dank für die Grüße zur Hochzeit. Bericht über die erfolgte Rückkehr nach Kigoma und die bevorstehende Eröffnung der Eisenbahnlinie. Die Arbeit sei viel früher fertig, als man erwartet hatte. Über Bocks Unfall in Morogoro am 01. Januar 1914 und die Folgen. Über den Kauf des Muskatesels und die Bewilligung- und Beantragungsprozedur. Über seine verlorengegangene Ordinationsurkunde. Gehaltsvergleiche mit Missionaren anderer Gesellschaften an zugänglicheren Orten. Über einen Kostenzuschuss der Breklumer in Höhe von 300 Rupien, damit die Bräute ihre Aussteuer aus Daressalaam kommen lassen können. Dies sei viel zu wenig! Die Transportkosten in DOA seien nicht mit denen in Indien zu vergleichen. Über Dummheiten, die man macht, wenn man Fieber hat. In diesem Zusammenhang sieht Jessen auch einen unvernünftigen Brief, den Bock an die Breklumer zuhause geschreiben hat. Jessen versucht, Bock zu verteidigen.

[Finanzen] Andersen (Tabora) an Pohl. Auflistung der Kosten für Transport- und Expeditionskosten von Kitunda nach Tabora und Tabora nach Daressalaam in Höhe von 98,60 Rupien.
