Correspondence, programs, program notes

Includes Methodist Recorder clippings circa 1898 with one facsimile and several print reproductions of letters JW wrote to his wife.

Panoramic black-and-white photographs of Methodist meeting and conference groups. The earliest image is an albumen print of a Primitive Methodist meeting in Manchester, England, 1870. Other subjects include a White House reception for the Methodist Protestant Conference, 1931, and two images from meetings of the Methodist Unification Conference in Kansas City, Missouri, 1939.

Prints of engraved portraits from Wesleyan Methodist Magazine, the re-named successor to Methodist Magazine, above; and from several other Methodist magazines, though primarily Primitive Methodist Magazine.. Since the name change in 1822 roughly coincided with the widespread introduction of steel-plate engraving, most of the prints can be assumed as such. There is much less change to these prints over time, as compared to copper-plate, and thus much less evidence of FB's study of this. However, as with the earlier magazines, duplicates here have not been weeded.

Autographs of many Wesleyan Methodist missionaries, inscribed directly in the book. Most indicate the locations of their missions, which include many places in the West Indies, India, and Africa (especially Sierra Leone and the Gold Coast). Most appear to have signed the book while in London (whether before, after, or in between missions).

Printed materials relating to the Centenary Celebration of the Methodist Missionary Society, 1913.

In protest to an upcoming meeting with Warren, Gordon, Smith, Lee, Farrar and Rowland. Signed "Somebody who Knows"
