In the 1920's, my paternal grandmother traveled to the Belgian Congo to do missionary work for the Presbyterian church. I plan to post her (and her husband's) letters from their journey here on my blog. I will do at least one letter per day - some of them are short, so I might do several. I hope you find them interesting.
My grandmother was Dorothy Chambers. She married Bruno Max Schlotter. The letters start on September 19th, 1920.
