Scope and content
Letters from other mission houses and mission friends] Royal Consistory, Kiel, to the Breklum Mission Society. Report on the fact that unnamed women from Hamburg, who call themselves 'patriots', demand in a petition that the missionary work of the Breklumers in India (and East Africa) must be stopped. This mission activity would play into the hands of the English. The commanding general had decided to approve the position of the 'patriots': 'He considered himself obliged to use all means at his disposal to preserve German money for the German people alone in this serious time when the German people stood up for themselves with their best blood'. For this reason, Breklum must be asked 'during the state of war to give only those means to the missionaries and sisters in enemy foreign countries which are necessary for their maintenance, and to restrict their collections accordingly'.
