- One letter from Marion Webster addressed to Lucy Haist. The letter recounts Marion and her companion's travel from Benguela, Angola to Bailundu Angola by foot. Marion and other missionaries were carried part of the way by Angolans using a Tipoya, a form of sedan chair. In her letter she mentions hearing hippos and monkeys, and meeting other caravans taking enslaved people to the coast to be sold. She also discusses Angolans trading with the Dutch and what the Dutch give them for various goods.
