Archiving Williams' Letter
The letter is not filed with Williams’ official correspondence, but in personal papers and acquisitions— separate subsection of the archive. Although the letter has been transcribed, there is not a summary of the letter’s content in the special collections finding aids or the online catalogue. This stands in contrast to the other letters written by LMS missionaries to the home office, for summaries in the receipt book and the more abbreviated descriptions in the digital catalogue document references to magic lanterns in correspondence with the secretary. Perhaps this is the reason why the letter has not been discussed in other critical work on Williams.
