Scope and content
Jessen (Saintes) from captivity to Bracker. Bocks have also arrived in Saintes. List of debts. Financial. Report from Kigoma and Uha, because Bock is the last one who was in Kigoma. The houses are still standing and the missions will probably be taken over by British and Americans. A faithful African has made enquiries, then passed these on to Bock and Jessen has experienced them. Recent work report: In 1915 Jessens wanted to give up Kigoma to grow food for the government in Uha. However, the plan could not be implemented. The missionaries always had enough to eat, but the mission work was difficult. The school in Kigoma had to be closed due to food shortages. In 1915, Jessen's holidays at Bocks in Kikangala were taken because Mrs. Jessen had to recover from the birth of her last child. Jessen himself writes that he has not had a fever once in five years and has not been ill in bed for four years in a row. The health of the children in Kigoma had also been quite good. Oh, if only we were back. They were the happiest years of our lives, and I have no more difficult hour than our departure.' Description of the fear of having to spend the winter in the camp.
